[quote:Black Diamond 26398702:MV8yMDMxODc0XzM0MTYyMzMyX0U5NjM2NzZF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 22439663:MV8yMDMxODc0XzM0MTYxMzI1XzdDQTk2QzYy] It really just seems like any other storm they report on. All they can do is watch the computer simulations and report on what seems to be the most likely thing to happen. Unfortunately the weather can't really be accurately predicted. It is naturally unstable, it does what it does. In the end, it's better to be prepared. Who doesn't agree with that? [/quote] You don't have an argument when you say that:" they said this last time and nothing happened". They may not get it right and be batting 10 % but it is their job to motivate the voters and tax payers to get out of harms way. They are doing their jobs and covering their butts. The other problem : maybe "last time" you dodged a bullet and the storm missed you by a hundred miles or it didn't hit on a full moon high tide. [/quote]

It seems that now the National Weather Service is trying to scare people into evacuating. Take a look at the link below.

Why do they want to evacuate everyone so badly? Remember when NYC was evacuated because of Hurricane Irene? It turned out to be a dud. So why all this now? Why do they need everyone out? This reminds me of Close Encounters of the Third Kind where they evacuated the area that aliens used to make contact by claiming there was anthrax in the air.
