yes, but there is also a flipside to that argument. if this storm doesn't flood NO, that tells us the odds of any storm doing it, is very low, because the convergence of a set of perfect conditions, is almost unattainable. and add to that they "they hyped it" mantra that will be leveled against the weather service and hurricane center - they will never be able to convince people to evacuate NO again.

Well, that will remain to be seen in the future. This was a LEGITIMATE storm with all the bad signs and proof to back it up that evacuation WAS necessary. Murphys Law, if they hadn't evacuated things would have or still could get worse.
IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS. People are calling the aftermath way too soon.
