Akeem the African Dream Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 the inland surge up the rivers and the extensive wind field make this a better Carolina storm than usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Media bashing in the main thread is pissing me off. Get it out of the main thread. Also, network media has to stop their regularly scheduled opinionated bull**** for a few days to actually grab the attention of the majority of desensitized Americans, who don't respond or react to anything unless they're drowning in an ocean of hyperbole anyway. You think presenting facts is going to get some fatass off their couch, much less out of their surge-prone house? "Disclaimer: There's a chance this hurricane could rapidly weaken or miss your location entirely." Give it a bloody rest. They're mostly not scientific meteorologists and they're also not perfect. They're media people interpreting information they are given while presenting that dangerous threat to the viewer. Regardless if the hurricane collapses into butterfly wings, the forecast was presented to them by official agencies as a devestating event based on evidence at the time of forecast. They reported it the best way they can. If you don't like it, just give it a week and you can go back to the opinionated hyperbole-filled political segments people seem to live for these days.

hazwoper Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I love watching people bash the media when in fact this will be an awful storm. Now some dummies on the main thread walking back their bashing as the IR looks better. Some people never learn. “More reading, less posting” is the old saying and it still applies today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't once think that Florence was going to make landfall as a CAT4/5 however I agreed with the severity outlined from the water impact it will have. The only time I'll ever believe that a CAT4+ is going to make landfall on the US mainland is if its literally 2-3 hours away from landfall at said intensity. How it stalls will determine if its the costliest hurricane in SE history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Sometimes when I hear someone bashing meteorologists for whatever indiscriminate reason for inaccuracies of weather predictions I’ll respond, “oh yeah, I forgot how easy it is to predict the future.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnorthstate Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 this is going to be the fake news hurricane that breaks the camel's back. think millions are going to keep evacuating absurdly early going forward? or maybe i'm pissed my flight was cancelled because nobody ever really knows where these things are going, and yet we get the same thing we get every single year. WORST HURRICANE EVER COMING!!! sunny and 10 mph winds and we can't fly because foxnews and cnn scared everybody. you mean a cat 5 isn't going to hit the Carolinas afterall? no ****ing way...

NJwx85 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I don't think some of you understand the impact from such a large wind field, again, see Sandy. And the rainfall and flooding will be enough to keep everyone's attention. At the end of the day, nobody will remember that a narrow area of beach didn't receive cat 4 winds, which would have happened with a tight core system.
