I recall that the last ‘ultimate computer’ completely missed a one foot snow storm the very next day after it was put in service.

“National Hurricane Center in Miami-Dade County have achieved record accuracy in projecting the path of a storm”
“Record accuracy”? They’ve broken their own record? They’ve gotten better, one would expect, but this statement suggests NHC has it “down to a science”. Hardly.

I predict that we will have some hurricanes this year or maybe we won’t. I am 100% accurate.

The story neglected to mention that after processing the first data set, the computer concluded that Al Gore is an idiot.

So, these scientists built the world’s most powerful supercomputer, and on the day it was finished, they powered it up and decided to ask it the hardest question they knew. One man stepped up and asked, “Is there a God?”
The computer spun its drives and pushed data through its processors until finally, the screen flashed its answer:
“There is now.”

If by 14 trillion ops/sec they mean Rmax, then that means this is probably one of two NOAA computers in Maryland, ranked at 36 and 37 on the Top 500. Not exactly big supercomputing news.

It would be kind of funny if Broward County got a Cat. V and the computer got sucked up.
