and those of us down here who know about storms could see this was the case fairly early on...a mild storm moving into colder water and grazing or entering landmass...none of which builds monsters
You use the term “us” as though someone agrees with you. You’re full of it from square one.Did the media hype it? Yeah it’s the east coast. Was it over hyped? probably not.You can’t compare a gulf hurricane to one like this. Gulf storms pretty much go straight in, you’re either on the dirty side or clean side. This storm was dirty side all the way up the eastern seaboard. Wind wasn’t the problem, storm surge was. As is usually the case. It is like a cat one storm hit at Brownsville Texas and ran the coast to Biloxi
You can count me in with wardaddy as an “us”.
Yes it’s a wet storm and yes there is surge but give me a break. This was not going to be anything like the hype. If it didn’t level the Bahamas as a Cat 3 in open water it was certainly not going to be a catastrophic hit on the east coast.
You’ll dry out, folks. There are rain systems that come in from the West for you guys that are wetter and more dangerous.
I certainly hope y’all aren’t faced with an Andrew.
The proof is in the pudding....say all you like...an overblown media event
Foisted on us because the newsdeciders thought wrongly they were themselves in the path of a catastrophe
It was a farfetched projection early on which is precisely why a number of forecasters disagreed
but don’t let me stop you
Gots a vote for war-pappy here boss.
