Is it within the realm of possibility that weather forecasters and weather networks are EXAGERATING the severity of Irene ? In otherwords, are they "bumping" UP Irene from a Category 1 to a Category 2 or Category 3 ?

Irene should be taken seriously. People SHOULD prepare.

However with that in mind, I have personally witnessed Irene classified as a Category 4 earlier today by the WeatherNetork.com Irene was then DOWNGRADED to a Category 3 later on this afternoon.

I don't trust the LEFT. I don't trust Obama and his hacks in the MSM including those delivering the "news" about the weather.

The USAF determines pressure and winds which determines the classification.

Thats probably right up there with Trutherism and Aliens. It is extremely unlikely.

That said, of course the MSM is going to hype the shyte out of it, its what they do. No politics in it, just the desire to get ratings. They’ve been doing this since I started following hurricanes (25+ years)
