2024 Hurricane Season

No, but my siblings and I finally got our mother to quit watching his worst case scenario crap. Rob use to be very objective. He lost his way when his house flooded.

I dealt with the elderly for decades. They tend to hear the worst and get all nervous over nothing. Preying on the elderly for viewers.

I felt the same way about my dad and Fox news and the daily hate and rage bait, so you have a point about older people being sucked into that vortex(no pun intended).
I think I want my meteorologist to lay out the possibilities and let me know the worst of what could happen so that I can plan for that and be pleasantly surprised if it's not as bad. Erring on the side of caution and not taking the chance on downplaying a potentially dangerous situation is not the same as fear mongering.

We cut the cord on her TV at the beginning of Covid for the same reason…all three news networks had her all twisted up. And she is now calmer. She needed to get back to being happy and independent thinking since she is probably clearer than many of us. So much so, our great state will bless her with a driver’s license renewal shortly.

Agreed. I've spent thirty years responsible for deploying people on a global basis both onshore and offshore. I've also worked in the disaster services field. I want as much info as possible as early as possible. Just because some people can't interpret the data being presented or have anxiety issues doesn't mean it shouldn't be presented. For some people what could happen in 10 days means nothing for others its a narrow window for decision making.

You are making the statement. You should provide your source otherwise it's just 'Trust me, bro'.

Not to be an actually guy but actually the seasonal predictions are very accurate. Especially for such a hugely complicated concept.

Fine, I'll retract that statement and give you another. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a Cat 4 storm past the Windwards, before July, 100 years ago. The fact is we have no idea. Using the last 100 years as a baseline for what the weather/climate is supposed to be like is pointless. It is a statistically insignificant amount of time in the earth's history.

Also, the seasonal predictions in the decade post-Katrina were horribly off. Nobody was predicting the downturn in activity that did happen.

Last time "Beryl" was here it was lights out in Blackam. Hopefully this Beryl isn't lights out in Louisiana.

Get in line!!! You’re not suppose to notice things contrary to the talking points!!!

Notice “heat dome” is the hot phrase this summer. It’s just the Bermuda high is more west this year.

Yikes!

You right

And it’s more west this year and a serious problem because you refuse to give up your gas vehicle for an electric one.

Why are you such a selfish A-Hole?

and don't forget eating beef . . .

It’s ironic cattle (beef) and vegans eat the same thing.

We’ll let me head to town. I’ll drive my pickup since it contributes to the CO2 myth more than my car. That 0.04% of the atmosphere is just so deadly.

Yeah.... kind of like the electric cars fueled by electricity... which comes from (clean) coal (for the most part)!!! LOL. Can't make this up!

Bottom line: It's all about control. No thanks... I'm going to live my life and not worry about a little methane gas coming from a cow.

Thank God for NATURAL global warming, or we would still be in the Ice Age.

I thought I drew all this with crayons for that other guy. Replace some N2 or O2 in your breathing with .04% of chlorine gas and then give me a call. Oh that's right, your lungs would not be there anymore.
Maybe some of your low info friends take that ____e seriously but you seem smart enough to know that concentration matters.
Or are you saying that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas? I cannot follow the whiplash from Perillo to CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere.
