Local weather forecasters....particularly Ken Cooke and his team at Fox news Atlanta did a great job. They were on top of it all and letting every one know what was coming. It is one of the reasons that my daughter and her husband stayed home.
When someone tells me they cannot afford to lose their job so they have to do —— (fill in the blank) I don’t argue with them. I do however think to myself if you die doing it you won’t need a job at all.
I guess my relatives don`t watch Fox. Thats a factor too. Many have one channel they watch for news/weather. Forecasters vary widely at times with their `interpretation` of NWS reports. They try to make a name for themselves that way-theatre again. The same data given different spin. People tend to trust one and ignore the others. I want science not personality when it comes to weather. Glad your family did alright. Mine did too.
