"I hope I'm wrong; somehow I doubt you do."
You somehow doubt that I hope I'm wrong about the storm threat being ghoulishly exaggerated?
Your doubt is well-founded.
The only thing ghoulishly exaggerated on this thread is your hyperbole in characterizing this thread.
You can have the last word.
well I would say this, if this indeed does turn out to be hyped or exaggerated as you say - the credibility of the entire US weather forecast and national hurricane center, is finished. they will never be able to generate any public credibility for evacuation in subsequent events.
