No I prefer just the facts. But they hype it up so, talking about a CAT 5 when it actually was already down to a CAT 4, CAT 5 hurricanes rarely hit land. Andrew and Gilbert were the last two. When’s the last time you heard that on the news?
I don’t like hype, getting people all scared unnecessarily. Facts should be reported, not wishes.
Fox is all about Dean hitting Texas, but if you read up on it you will see that the odds of that are very low.
Second, they want another disaster to blame on Global Warming, and also blame Bush for not doing enough like they did with Katrina.
And third, the Democratic candidates could use a disaster to show how compassionate and concerned they are with a stump speech followed by photo-op in hip boots.
“Down” to a cat 4? Boy that’s a relief. No problem then. /s
When did I last see the news? All I know is the Hurricane Center is still calling for it to hit cat 5 strength today before it reaches the Yucatan. Maybe it won’t be 5 when it goes on shore, but 4 seems to be a good bet.
I seriously don’t think Dean will hit Texas, but hurricanes are nothing if not unpredictable. When it’s that close, you’d better pay attention and be cautious. If you don’t and you live near the coast, you’re an idiot.
“Andrew and Gilbert were the last two. When’s the last time you heard that on the news?”
I don’t think I’ve heard that on the news at all because the only cat 5s to hit U.S. soil in the 20th century were the Labor Day hurricane, Camille, and Andrew. Two others, including Gilbert, made landfall in Mexico as cat 5.
