Oh, please...G-d is in control of EVERYTHING, and that includes hurricanes; like it or not. (Remember Noah?) My point is that we should NEVER forget that hurricanes are UNPREDICTABLE. In spite of all their expects and hi-tech equipment; the Weather Channel got caught with their pants right down around their ankles on this one with regards to the last-minute surge in strength of this storm. The Weather Channel might want to spend a LITTLE more time informing the public of the sheer unpredictability of hurricane behavior in the future.
Apparently they still miss John Hope. All the cable news networks scooped them on the upgrade to Cat 4 status. And their presentation is as dry, formal and stiff as Sunday morning church.
In more ways than one... They just had a call from someone who claimed to be on the scene, and described the hurricane as, "a blast of wind from Howard Stern's a**..."
TWC broke off the call and went to a commercial.
Trust me, they do. They relay that message everytime.
You would make a great Calvinist.
But, I agree with you about the weather channel. The local Tampa news channels are on it, though.
