Are you sure you want to list "weather prediction" as being something successful?

I think you would find that the East coast and the Gulf States think that Hurricane prediction is a bit better today than it was 30 years ago. Now, property damage is going to happen, with or without an alert. But how many lives have been saved? I'd wager the number is greater than one.

You're correct about hurricane prediction. My post was meant to humurously allude to the ineptitude of our day to day weather forecasts.
