Since the NWS hypes every storm, it’s hard to know when to believe their forecasts. The evacuation panic in Texas before Hurricane Rita, which followed Hurricane Katrina, caused many more deaths than the storm did,
She keeps saying that if we ever do get a hurricane “we are evacuating” before it hits. I’m more prone to stay as we are not in a flood zone and I hate sitting in traffic.
They and the weather channel love the hyperbole of every weather event being unprecidented or the worst ever recorded.
I'm surprised that they haven't started naming dust storms in Arizona yet.
All you have to do is look at the Sat images yourself to know that wherever this storm makes landfall will be reduced to moonscape.
