When a storm is out there we should all be on our guard and be thankful it was a false alarm . I understand what you are saying though. I got so frustrated last year. I was constanly preparing and then getting back to normal for nothing. Was it really though? Should I should have been counting my blessings instead? This year I find myself thinking, forget about Dean. It isn’t coming here. What if it does though? I’m ready. Why? Because all I hear is it’s “probably” going to Mexico but ..... reminding people of the buts isn’t a bad thing IMO

Never, ever, get tired of preparation. I was taught from little on, hurricane season starts June 1st, that is when you get ready. ;)

Are ya'll still in pending mode?

Reminding, yes, but misinforming "'It's coming to Texas,' says a Fox newsbabe" is not.

This said as I just helped raise the alarm for Invest92I with the extension of two of three model tracks headed for Central Florida. (the good news being that tracks almost always change and it is better to be pointed at early than 12 hours before landfall). Vigilance is good; panic is bad.
