oldnorthstate Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 2 hours ago, Ralph Wiggum said: Many many people being interviewed saying they left shelters and returned home yesterday once the storm started getting downgraded. These same folks are saying this is the worst devastation they have ever seen and rescue efforts are non stop. This is not the NHC fault imo BUT I do think the old saffir Simpson scale needs to be retired. As a met community WE understand it and WE understand surge etc and how a Cat 1 can often be as devastating as a Cat 3-4 but Joe Public hears downgrade and assumes the all clear has been sounded. Just my $.02 irt to SS yeah, except that the damage in wilmington looks to be fairly minimal. the saffir simpson scale did just what it was supposed to do. getting people out of the way of water is a different story and isn't something limited to hurricanes.

oldnorthstate Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'll add that these mandatory evacuations a week out and media reports of doom should also get some blame here. People hear that the world is about to end only to realize that nothing close to what they were told would happen is happening. As noted earlier, people get in basements in flooding situations, so the a bigger problem is that people are just stupid and don't understand the power of water. If the media hyped up the flooding threat inland a week out like everything else, perhaps that might change. We also need politicians to stop evacuating everything during the middle of election seasons so to protect their political brand. South Carolina evacuated the whole coast, think about that. We're talking about some of the poorest people around, and where are they to go? How? The governor of South Carolina should be thrown out of office for what he did. Pure political theatre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 enough. if you have a problem with how things were handled, take it elsewhere. the storm is still on going, and looks to continue for days with devastating rainfall and surge. it is way too early to make any definitive statements on how local governments handled things, etc etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoSki14 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 It's a slow moving disaster, the worst effects will be unfolding over the past 2-3 days. Rainfall totals will exceed anything Floyd or other storms gave them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very sorry that you are interpreting me advising you to stop with the very early definitive statements on a current landfall hurricane, as bullying. There is no need to bring political talk into this either. However, numerous green taggers have been in this thread over the last day, to ask people who are calling this storm a bust, to please stop it. I am following suit, as a storm mode mod, who was asked to help by the website administrator. so i would greatly appreciate that you take my advice and back down from your argument.
