RE: OT: Hurricane Florence Watch
looks like a lot of the hype about this storm has died down. eye wall collapsed...115 mile an hour winds... Florence is probably not going to be the catastrophe it looked to be as recently as yesterday morning...

I don't know if I'd call it "hype" when it comes to things that normally kill scores of people and destroy millions.

But let's hope and pray we were better safe than sorry this time.

My 9 year old got the entire week off of school and we are expecting 2 inches of rain and 30 mph wind gusts. Monday through yesterday, the weather was beautiful.

I'd say that was overhyped and maybe they should have waited until there was a better handle of where this thing was going with a narrower cone, no?

North America is a very effective hurricane break, but that doesn't mean the break doesn't lose some dust in the process.

Some of the problem is we so much more data now while the storms are further out to sea.

In another decade or two we'll have enough of the new data to make better predictions.

Right now they are seeing at Cat 4 in the open sea and panicking. The reality is lots of smaller hurricanes in the past were probably that powerful out at sea but we couldn't measure them like we do now.

Yeah that cone on Monday (3 days out) that stretched from Hilton Head to the Virginia Eastern Shore was ridiculous. That was when all the decisions were made to shut down schools and commerce and evacuate. The NHC shares much of this blame and needs to do better. Understand erring on the side of caution, but this was crying wolf, and in the long run, their credibility will be damaged next time and more people will ignore the evacuations.

Partly state, partly local, partly federal. All the state and local decisions were made based on that ridiculous cone that basically included everyone outside of Florida 3 days out. Just one big circle of incompetence.

The issue is that you just can't put it off. If you try to evacuate millions at the last moments, you have an even bigger problem.

When it is that far out, a few degrees on the compass heading can mean almost 1,000 miles difference in landfall. The difference is that our local people don't really freak out since this is a yearly exercise for us.

The issue is that you just can't put it off. If you try to evacuate millions at the last moments, you have an even bigger problem.

If there was ever a scenario where millions would have to evacuate, it would be panic and chaos anyway. Fact of the matter is, with anything that could come our way aside from maybe a Chinese military invasion, 90% of us are safer just staying put inside their homes. If I am looking at a 2-week power outage like after Isabel, then I'll probably leave after the fact.

The number of people that needed to evacuate NOLA was not in the millions or anywhere close to it.

You mean where the school buses were parked and locked up and the Democratic govenor and mayor didn't do anything to get the people out or the fact that the hurricane never hit NOLA what they got was storm surge.

But don't let that destroy the narrative. Look up Waveland, MS where Katrina made landfall.

Everything I have seen from the folks I know who were involved in our coastal evacuations here are that it has gone pretty damn smooth. I should hear more tonight as they started deploying EMS resources late yesterday to evacuate hospitals on the Grand Strand and multiple counties deployed supplemental EMS units and crews to Horry and Georgetown Counties to help out for the duration of the storm.

Seems to me when you have competent people in charge things go a lot smoother.
