Seems like you can't read. I've repeatedly said in this thread I'm glad it was mainly a bust.
My problem is with the news channels who were not stressing that the storm was weakening.
Had reporters out there getting beaten in the face by wind and rain just so they could sell the story of destruction
I can see both sides. I followed this whole thing on one of the meteorologist boards
(Somebody recommended) you don't want people to get lax or comfortable either.
Still so much danger, big deal if the storm dipped down to a 3 from a 4. 99% of folks have no idea what that means, and truthfully with the storm surge potential since most of the state is surrounded by water a 10 mph drop in windspeed doesn't mean anything. Flooding causes the most damage and loss of life, hurricane ratings are based in windspeed.
Sandy wasn't even a hurricane by the time it hit nj.
Harvey was downgraded by the time it hit Houston.
Better safe than sorry.
I do agree with you fukk these stations having people out in the middle of themost severeshyt for ratings. It's unnecessary, and just to bring drama. They won't be happy till one of them gets killed on air.
