Kansas man—I wrote the headline. I also have a sterling reputation for providing accurate tropical storm assessments because my life and property depends upon it. You, on the other hand, do not have a clue. Give yourself a break and take in some of the other exciting threads offered on FR.
I applaud you for your accuracy in assessing.
I am sorry you feel insulted by my opinion, but I assure you it is not personal - and may be entirely unwarranted in light of your accurate record.
I stand by my opinion that the weather reporting industry, as a whole, has damaged its ability to get people’s attention.
There's enough warning for folks to get out and or hunker down in safe places. Any who hang around thinking they can play Russian roulette with this storm are seriously dense and then some....just the duration of rain itself is a serious threat......falling trees etc.
