Tampa Bay area had flooding from Ike, while the storm was 400 miles away.

On this stream, they are saying a cat 4 or 5 surge on the cat 2 hurricane Ike.

This is pretty unsettling. We have lost faith in the press to distinguish drama from facts.

There’s Janice Dean- saying this could be worse than Katrina...but she was pretty hyped about Gustav for awhile too.

Reading the thread I see everything from- don’t be silly- a little wind and some local flooding to- run for your lives we’re all gonna die.

Hard to get an accurate reading, though I don’t think the NHC issues warnings of potential death too often.
