wxeyeNH Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Being retired I have lots of time to watch the news channels and the weather channel. The so called experts in my opinion are pretty poor. For instance watching MSNBC right now (340pm). The "expert" is saying todays trend is to the east increasing the threat to the Carolina's. It is not. He also shows a graph of Cat 1's to Cat 5's and is saying a Cat 5 causes 500 more times damage than a cat one. I don't know what he is talking about. Boy, today's Euro is the worst possible track. South to north with the eye a few miles inland. Brings the dirty side with the strongest winds right along the coast with all the high rises, Miami to West Palm and even north. Long lasting power outages with all those elderly in high rises. Bad situation. Still time for track changes and hope that those east solutions come to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News reports have been pretty tough with the ridiculous statement put out earlier by the Prime Minister before anyone even got in touch with Barbuda... but it sounds bad, at least from the ABS Television/Radio Feed.
