North of the bay was the worst case scenario for most people. I’m not saying anything controversial. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only so many of us and we have jobs, family, recovering from a hurricane, parent in the hospital, ya know life.

All I’ve seen is some juxtaposition of the reality and the hyperbolic discussion preceding today, which involved sensationalist talk.

NeonPeon Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 You are fighting a strawman. Yes, there was overhyped coverage of this storm, if you consume awful media, just like there's awful coverage of all sorts if you don't know what to read and how to read. What there really was, from professional places, whether less sensationalized news or otherwise, was the distribution of a very accurate forecast that seems to be verifying with some really significant accuracy. The uncertainty baked into that forecast is necessary, and yes, it could have been worse if this was N of tampa, but the very near risk of that happening, given the uncertainty, meant that that worst case scenario, still eminently plausible, needed to be discussed and communicated, and acted upon as though it came to pass. Now, if some cretins were talking as though this hurricane was going to be a cat 5 at landfall and erase Tampa off the map, then those folks are idiots, however I haven't heard them on here. The vast majority of discussion has been reasonable, and thanks to the mods for that. Yes, people nerded out when the storm achieved as close to perfection as a hurricane can. That's kindof what a weather nerd of any stripe should do. The idiots I've heard most today have been an entirely different, equally unhelpful flavor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every post you see that shouldn't be there, know that there are 20 others posted at the same time that were deleted. That is probably an underestimated amount too. I have no idea how many posts are deleted per storm or even per day, but it's an insane amount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obvious reading through the banter thread that there are posters who are there to just make a mockery of the situation.

Totally agree, there are definitely posts in this thread that are clearly not in good faith and straight up just trolling. Should be a no tolerance for that kind of thing in banter or otherwise on the wx side and just be an instant ban... However, I also feel for the mods that have enough on their hands in the main thread alone so it’s totally unfair to expect them to police the banter thread as well. It’s a shame that some people feel the need to troll a weather board but unfortunately there’s no shortage of immature morons on the internet that don’t receive enough attention in their daily life. Best thing to do is just ignore them and go about your business as if they don’t exist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those questions are usually answered in the main thread up until it's go time. Once the system is within a couple of days of impact, there are just too many posts at the same time for the knowledgeable people to answer. I wish I had an answer.

Normandy Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Don’t y’all losers get tired of constantly showing your ass each storm? 92 sustained at Venice now. Several gusts in the 90s on the north side: the fucking tornado outbreak. Y’all losers can’t be satisfied. Storm was a fucking banger 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
