Weather bureau cried wolf again on Dorian Hurricane in Florida
Quick&Dead

News just reported the weather bureau says the hurricane won't cause much more than tropical rain in Florida and some modest storm surge but not much.
This, after their dire warnings and evacuation orders disrupting tens of thousands of people.
Of course, no apology from the National Weather Service or "expert" hurricane forecasters.
Once again, the weather service cries wolf, scaring people and disrupting their lives. This is exactly why I put next to ZERO respect or belief in weather reports.
Others may see it differently but that is my opinion after hearing their "dire life threatening" forecasts that never develop.
Seems like a weather forecast isn't even an educated guess anymore! It's more like a big joke!

The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

Maybe they can squeeze a few more bucks out of us !
Because that's what every forecast said.
If you insist on certainty, may I refer you to the Death and Taxes departments?
They can say whatever they want....but free men should not be ordered and forced under gunpoint to evacuate. Likewise, said free men should accept their fate and expect nobody to save them if emergency arises.
I've lived in Florida for over sixty years and am always prepared but that's because of all the warnings and the experience of going through many hurricanes and that experience tells me that NO hurricane is certain to do this or that, it's an unpredictable monster but a monster none the less, don't be mad that you didn't get hit, instead watch the videos of the places that did get hit and say a prayer of thanks.
Well said.
They are good but not perfect.
AOC is already crying it's just a warning of things to come and EVERYONE WILL DIE if no heed is paid to her Green New Deal.

Many of the masses are unable to think and reason for themselves. They have become dependent on someone telling them what to do they simply obey like sheeple. And that is what those in power desire. :evil:

'Could be' does not dictate orders of mass evacuations.

BINGO .. we have a winner.
Of course, the naysayers will state no property is worth a life. However, when there 'predicted disaster' and ordered evacuations along with dire scare stories promoted by the medias' use of wording becomes false........go figure.
People have been trained to believe what they are told, not to think and reason for themselves.

I was watching the weather report on TV at the time and it was never mentioned. They said the skies were partly cloudy with the wind out of the South at 8 knots while I was looking out the window at palm trees that were being blown away.
Tornado's really do sound much like a freight train.
an evacuation with their capabilities.
serf

Quantum computing has the potential to change the world and disrupt every industry by providing the opportunity to solve incredibly intricate problems that modern-day supercomputers just can?t achieve ? including the potential to map extremely complex weather patterns.
The computing power necessary to keep an eye on the whole globe and predict when an innocent-looking storm might become dangerous just isn?t available ? many of the world?s largest supercomputers are already dedicated to weather forecasting but in order to achieve greater accuracy, they need even more computational brute force. Could the advent of quantum computing change this?
This is about Florida ...... not the Bahama's which are islands in the path of many hurricanes so anyone living/building there better understand they are in the path and will experience a hurricane.
No different than people who live in Alaska will experience snow and cold.

OK, now you got it.
Also when you live in a disaster prone area, there is such a thing as INSURANCE if you choose to purchase it.

And he said, a week ago the prediction was that the storm was going to hit West Palm Beach where he lives, and he knew his compound was safe, because the weathermen are always wrong. The guy went on for 15 minutes yesterday about how stupid the weathermen are.
And then, later in the show Rush mentioned that he had flown "somewhere else" in his Lear jet, just to be safe. He wouldn't say where he was but it sounded like, a long long way from Florida. He was still broadcasting from his "safe place" today.
Where one heads to is determined by constantly changing steering currents, and changing highs/lows. It's basically the path of least resistance, the same that air and water both follow.
Since these determinants are dynamic,....telling someone accurately where a storm system is going weeks ahead of time involves adapting the forecast to changing circumstances and conditions. This means the end target will often differ from where it began.
Personally I think the NHC does a damn good job, and have come a long way concerning accuracy via ever evolving technology. It will never be a 100% guaranteed thing.
PS,....Rush Limbaugh is a fat gasbag.
My opinion of the national weather service and their predictions is not one of confidence.
