Turns out it was barely a hurricane: Hurricane Florence, Culmination of Exploitation of Natural Events by Government, Extremists, and Business | Watts Up With That?[^] "By Wednesday evening they already downgraded Florence from a Category 4 to a Category 2, and it came ashore barely as a Category 1. In fact, it was amusing to see how long they continued to report it with wind speeds of 75 mph because if it was 74 mph, it was no longer a hurricane. NOAA control the wind speed determinations with their estimates from one or two flights above the hurricane from which, using models they estimate surface speed. We know these are consistently higher than reality, but a higher speed allows for a higher hurricane category and greater media attention."
Please, just effin' stop this shit. It is bad enough dealing with family members who want to espouse vitriol and hatred over politics and religion, including their denial of global warming. Coming here and seeing you do the same gets quite old.

Did you see the video of the weather journalist pretending to be 'over blown'?

Ah, here come the bit where I am ascribed a sentiment I dont hold.
Well, it's either going to be over-reported or under-reported. Very rarely is a weather event, and it's impacts, ever reported "dead on". You're complaining that it's over-reported, so that leaves the only other option.

Actually I wasn't, but I am sure you don't want to see it that way.

Take it to the soapbox and I will reply properly.

Dave KreskowiakIt is the almost vampiresque glee with which the media, and other agencies, over hype these events which I am getting at.

Yeah, and they are over-hyped for the reasons of safety and preparedness. Going the other way results in more people dying from these events. Seriously, go read a book about hurricane deaths and forecasting.

Tell that to the 17 people who died
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

Why would I stoop to your level? Seems rather pointless to me. I asked you to please stop, and that's all I intend to do. Please stop.

You assumed I 'deny' global warming. If you want a sensible discussion about I will gladly oblige, if all you want is childish insults then dont bother.

We know it is devastating, why do you keep posting these sad stories?
-
Yes, it is devastating.

Again, please stop talking about global warming in these forums. You do not want a discussion - you simply want to espouse your point of view, and I no longer care to see your endless trolling on the subject. So, "Please!"

Pretty sure the devastated families aren't going to care about media hype!

Dave KreskowiakI suggest that if the residents hadn't thought 'oh, it isnt so bad after all' when the media hype fizzled away they would be better prepared for the flooding. It is very easy to breed complacency with fake news. Complacency kills. I take it you have heard the phrase, crying wolf?
