I am watching the Weather Channel. I do not see hype, I see a presentation of what the NHC is forecasting. You are just so jaded that you believe otherwise. And given that you were wrong about so much factual info, such as the latest GFS plots and the potential danger to the Carolinas, you just simply are not credible.
What on earth are you talking about? I haven’t been “wrong” about anything, I know better than to try to forecast what a hurricane is going to do, they’re notoriously capricious. They can intensify unexpectedly, veer in an unexpected direction causing more damage and loss of property and life. They can also fizzle out. That’s nature. Speaking of nature, it’s the nature of the news media to play up anything that increases viewership. You know this.
Time will tell, the storm is going to do what it’s going to do. It looks bad at present, and evacuation appears to be the wisest course for people on the east coast of Florida, possibly even the GA and southern SC coast.
