Will the MSM send people to stand in the wind and tell everyone how dangerous it is ?

There have been so few hurricanes so far this season, which deflates the AGW windbags; they feel the need to flog ol’ Dorian like a rented mule. So now they want the Carolinas, as well as Florida to be quaking in fear. Next they’ll be warning the folks in Maine to put plywood over their windows. Look out, Prince Edward Island! Here comes Dorian!

A bunch of liberals were mocking DeSantis’s praying that Florida would be spared. Praise Jesus!

Every year they predict whether it will be a bad or a mild hurricane season. They even give the probable number of storms. Does anyone keep a record of these predictions to see if they are accurate?

Good news!

I already prepped a good bit for this one, so I’ll be set for the next one.

Poor news media and various insane leftists. Too bad, so sad. Better luck next time.

Looks like Florida and the Carolinas may be in for more of a mid-sized blow and some rain if the current projections pan out...here’s hoping it loops further into the Atlantic and drains its energy safely.

So the Cone of Uncertainty moved for the Donut of Destruction? That would be good for Florida BUT, speaking as a vet of many hurricanes who knows how freaky they can be, I wouldn't relax in Florida. Sure, they can turn, but a sharp right inches from the coast is not something on which I'd risk my safety.
Remember, days ago the 'experts' said it was going to dissipate!
As long as any storm is over water it isn't over-and Florida, topologically, does not hinder any hurricane-its flat swampland. Many BAD ones have come right out into the Gulf, so I don't trust any of these Stormyodas about the future. Too many times we've heard 'Whoops, well these things ARE unpredictable'.
I DO hope Dorian obeys their predictions.

As it turns out, the only large oak tree on my property, which I KNEW was destined to come down . . . came down last night. Don’t know why it took that particular time to topple, but now I won’t have to worry about the hurricane wiping it out. :^(

Was part of a prayer group praying for Eastward shift. This seems to be good news.

10 bucks says it doesn’t ever make landfall in the U.S. (or anywhere for that matter....)

Poor MSM. They must be so disappointed.

I wondered about this on a FR post a few days back. Dorian veered quite a bit north of most of Puerto Rico after a whole lot of fear-mongering. It still seems to be doing that, trending north when it approaches land.

Preparing for and evacuating for a really bad hurricane situation is near impossible. My folks lived in Cape Canaveral in the '80s and '90s. My dad used to say that if they were going to evacuate, evacuate early, far away, and whenever a storm could hit. If not that, with a short amount of time either walk or bike away or get some six-packs and get in the attic or on the roof! (my dad was a unique outlier who was not into mainstream thinking)

But, but, but......all the spaghetti plots showed clearly that it was going to go right over mid Florida just a few days ago - my faith in weather prediction is badly shaken.......

Meteorologists are similar to economists ... they are much more accurate predicting after the event than before.
