I live three miles from the ocean in South Jersey and we did not lose power all night. I’ve seen Nor easter’s worse than this . Next time they are told to evacuate a lot more residents are going to say SCREW you.
Like so many folks in New Orleans? The problem with hurricanes is that they are unpredictable. It takes time to evacuate people. If you wait until you are sure you need to evacuate, guess what? It will be too late.
Exactly correct!!! The weather service, the politicians and the mainstream media lost a lot of credibility today.
At one point Irene was a Cat-4 hurricane but it was downgraded to a Cat-1 before it came ashore in the Carolinas. At that point in time, the weather service should have dialed back its predictions of destruction.
