I think this over hyped, as usual.
If the MSM and the weather people hadn’t dramatized so many storms, maybe people would be willing to evacuate and listen. The meteorologists that cried, “wolf.”
So where’s the “if you do not survive” jazz?
“If you do not survive, pray to Jesus”...?
(A good idea also if you do survive or even are in no danger)
Drudge lives hurricanes.
IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT, THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES, THINK ABOUT THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH YOU WHEN YOU MAKE THE PANICKED PHONE CALL TO BE RESCUED, THINK ABOUT THE RESCUE/RECOVERY TEAMS WHO WILL RESCUE YOU IF YOU ARE INJURED OR RECOVER YOUR REMAINS IF YOU DO NOT SURVIVE.
At one point they urge people to think of those that will have to go in and rescue them if they are injured or recover their body if they don’t survive. It’s in there... I had to skim it two or three times before I found it.
Drudge has people on twitter going WTF??? because he was linking to the wrong alert.
It’s in the alert that I linked.
Could this be for Political reasons?
Here is a good web site for hurricane maps. Don’t let the name fool you, these maps are good!!

“I think this over hyped, as usual”
That would be nice, but I’m not counting on it.
You have to click on “Previous Alert” from the main page to get to it. It’ll keep getting pushed farther back as more updates come up.
OK OK OK IF IT HAD BEEN A SNAKE IT WOULD HAVE BIT ME
I finally had to do a search to find it:
3. IF YOU ARE RELUCTANT, THINK ABOUT YOUR LOVED ONES, THINK ABOUT THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS WHO WILL BE UNABLE TO REACH YOU WHEN YOU MAKE THE PANICKED PHONE CALL TO BE RESCUED, THINK ABOUT THE RESCUE/RECOVERY TEAMS WHO WILL RESCUE YOU IF YOU ARE INJURED OR RECOVER YOUR REMAINS IF YOU DO NOT SURVIVE.
Strikes me as a nice appeal to emotions of those thinking about staying behind. Nothing wrong with that statement.
It's almost funny...if it wasn't so serious. If they (media) hadn't been panicking everyone for the last 20 years every time the wind blew, there would be no need for the above paragraph.
It's the barometric pressure that is so different and makes it worse.
“You’re doing one helluva job Brownie”
The site constantly updates alerts and the older ones rotate to the previous alert links.
Being a veteran of many hurricanes, I can tell you, personally, there is no such thing as an over hyped hurrcane..........
LOL I didn’t see it at first either.
