A tremendous amount of reading on the subject - especially on post-mortems on how they got the surge forecast wrong - as in way too low.
I've forgotten more about Katrina than you'll ever know.
From your posts on this thread, I sure as heck agree with the first part of that statement.
Is that what passes for civil discourse in Pennsylvania, land of hurricane experts? Stay classy, dirtboy.
No, it passes for what I think of your posts on this thread. How anyone could say these hurricanes are always overforecast, when the storm surge for Katrina was UNDERFORECAST, with fatal results, shows ignorance of the deliberate kind. I can't cure you as a result, but I sure as heck can demonstrate to others that your advice is not to be heeded. Oh, and I've lived along the Gulf coast. And my parents lived along the Gulf coast for 25 years. I watched Rita like a hawk for them. Made the right calls, too.
“I watched Rita like a hawk for them. Made the right calls, too.”
I will verify that. I was with dirtboy then. He hit it dead on, and not due to chance, but due to excellent analysis.
