Why Did the National Hurricane Center Blow It on Earl?
I live in South Florida on the coast where evacuation is mandatory. Many times I have been forced to evacuate because safety is the primary concern like it should be. I don’t think the National Hurricane Center’s warnings and calculations should be influenced by holidays and other events rather they should be dictated by the scientific knowledge they possess. Hurricanes are not totally predictable and evacuations have to be done in advance when the data is less solid.
Rather than blame the National Hurricane Center blame the media that hypes storms for ratings rather than simply presenting the facts. I repeat hurricanes are not totally predictable so one can be hit quite hard even where it is unexpected. If anyone doubts that they should look at the films from Hurricane Andrew.
