Although I do like its eye temp enhancement. I've also been seeing posts on twitter talking about how strong Haiyan must be compared to Dorian at peak intensity because of how their dvorak presentation was different, so I have accumulated a bit of salt that I had to let out in a blaze of sarcasm.

Yeah maybe make less excuses for grown men who say stupid things and attempt to cover themselves with vain, petty theatrics that debase our hobby and its science in the bargain. Maybe cut that. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Some of the Trump posts have been removed. It is one thing to talk about his statements regarding Dorian but this board is not the place for broader political discussions. It is mind boggling and embarrassing that anybody at this board or any wx enthusiast in general would try to explain away the cone comment. People are too quick to reflexively fall back into their corners. 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Just saw that presser with the Dr. The Most Honorable PM of The Bahamas. I swear it reminded me of Baghdad Bob.....nothing much to see here....most buildings little to no damage...infrastructure in place....locally sourced response...and this was after saying it was a generational disaster. Made no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
