I think the thread has since been pulled, but after Eichenwald posted his little prediction, he was absolutely savaged by Ryan Maue (climatology PhD at Cato), Joe Bastardi and other hurricane scientists. It was easily the thread of the day on twitter—if you didn’t see it, hopefully it still exists somewhere. Suffice it to say, Eichenwald was b***h-slapped at the Category V level.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy, too. At this point, the only person who takes Eichenwald seriously is...Kurt Eichenwald.
Looks like it the main tweet from Eichenwald has been deleted.
I started following Maue after reading it earlier.
Meme reply from a physicist gone bad and current FReeper, which I can tweet but not post here is on that rather hilarious thread.
