Hmmm that’s unusual, because usually meteorologists and local news like to focus on the scare tactic. They like to keep people watching and they don’t get viewers by saying all this is not going to be a big deal just a little wind. Usually they take the path most scary vs wish casting.
Meteorologists are not into scare tactics. They are busy focusing on trying to forecast the path of this monster.
This is a powerful and deadly storm and if people don't leave or prep, they will die in it.
170+ MPH winds is not just a little wind.
