Is it within the realm of possibility that weather forecasters and weather networks are EXAGERATING the severity of Irene ? In otherwords, are they "bumping" UP Irene from a Category 1 to a Category 2 or Category 3 ?

Irene should be taken seriously but, I have personally witnessed Irene classified as a Category 4 earlier today by the WeatherNetork.com Irene was then DOWNGRADED to a Category 3 later on this afternoon.

I don't trust the LEFT. I don't trust Obama and his hacks in the MSM including those delivering the "news" about the weather.

Interesting you mention that...there is a discussion going on at AccuWeather forums about the likelihood that they "exaggerating" the wind speed in order to "maintain public awareness and interest' in the storm.

Really?

Look at the wind speed. If it is Cat 2 then it is Cat 2. Simple as that. Media spin isn’t a part of categorizing storms.
