Think about how idiotic the left is here. Talk about getting your panties in a twist over absolutely NOTHING!
The real issue is that the forecasters can’t predict where this thing was going from the beginning. They finally got it right but how can you predict 50 years ahead?
It is classic fake news.
Idiots who have nothing better to do with their boring lives than to obsess about Alabama being in the “Cone” I watch the Weather Channel, that stupid cone was all over the place..I think they even showed at one point the Hurricane going over Florida and hitting Louisiana, the darn thing was all over the map, but it takes morons with NO life and nothing better to do than go after President Trump for mentioning Alabama
I’m in south Mississippi. Wife and I made plans in the event it crossed Florida into the Gulf of Mexico, which at one point seemed possible. Trump’s right, of course, Alabama would have been in jeopardy.
When he said “and Alabama”, at the exact time he said it, the Cone/models were already showing a turn, but that doesn’t mean someone had not told him Alabama could potentially be in the path even 12 hours before he said it. At least one model still showed it the day before he said it.
The Media is going to look like idiots if the keep this up.
Also, their constant use of “Scientists Say” is going to greatly and irreversibly destroy America’s trust of scientists.
Initially, the spaghetti strings projections had the hurricane going due west across the South, or around the tip of Florida and into the Gulf, etc.
The problem isn’t just with the models.
The problem is imperfect models and having to move millions of people.
If we only had to move a few thousands, we could wait til the last minute.
But we have to move millions and are stuck with the models we’re stuck with. Which means we have to err on the side of caution and move folks way early.
We need better models.
Period.
No worse than the FAKE weather cone predictions that caused millions to evacuate when most of those millions would have only seen windy, rainy conditions. Nobody is criticizing the politicians that make these disastrous “calls” days before they should. And they are NOT held accountable. Look at the spaghetti tracks on Dorian ... most of them were WRONG, but nobody will be held accountable. “Fake News” and “hurricane spaghetti models” are in the same category.
