Absolutely I am not at all diminishing the possibilities of the storm because we’ve been through too many and they are very unpredictable. But there are some sure things that careful weather watchers will notice.
The media scaring people to death does not sit well with me. We need calm, rational, measured reporting. I have no problem with evacs in “A” zones, pre-emergency declarations, getting your kit ready, etc....but then they need to take a “wait and see” attitude. They cry wolf too many times and real loss of life will ensue.
I’m glad this turned out to be only a water event and I hope the flood damage isn’t too great. But piers and trees are always going to be lost in even a strong thunderstorm. I hope the rest of the season is very quiet for us all.

Sadly, Walter Winchel and his breed died more than a generation ago.
All we have now for reporters are metrosexual pantiwaists and drooling ideologues.
