I hate to agree with sinky but he is right, the forecast was pretty good, clearly the entire coast knew a huricane was comming and EVERYONE knows that huricanes are unpredictable a slight change in track is not unusal, or predictable.
I think there has to be a scapegoat and the Chief forecaster is going to be it.
Had I been living in a mobile home in Punta Gorda, I would have gone to a shelter.
