The hyperventilating by so many over a nonevent is Laughable. And, PATHETIC.
Even here on FreeRepublic we have the FluBros/FluBras joining with the StormBroS/StormBras with their typical overreaction.
This weather event may result in some rain. Maybe. Perhaps some wind gusts. In other words, typical Florida summer weather.

The only one hyperventilating around here is you. Take your grumpy rump and rain your misery on a different thread. Buh bye.

We’ve run this sort of discussion thread for near twenty years. We’ve got the social implications worked out.

>>>The hyperventilating by so many over a nonevent is Laughable. And, PATHETIC.

At least 5 dead, a record number without power (at least 3.5 million), record surge into Wilmington, NC - beating the surge by Hurricane Florence - and this is just the start.

Being a professional meteorologist for 32 years - I knew your comment was going to come back to haunt you - but I am also a patient man - so I was going to wait to rub your ignorant little nose in it.

Maybe next time you will remember a few things: 1) The world doesn't revolve around you and Florida - there are other places - like the Bahamas and the Carolinas and New England that might like to have a thread to talk about these types of systems; 2) Keep your mouth closed about stuff you don't know about - because ignorance is bliss (and so is stupidity) and 3) If you don't want to talk about it - MOVE THE FRAK ON.

Why people on FR feel the need to insert their worthless opinions on threads they think should not exist is beyond me.

So - take some advice: Better to be thought a fool - than type it out and remove our doubt. IOW - next time - remain silent.
