2024 Hurricane Season

[HelmutVII]

He’s missing the point. It’s not always the message, it’s the manner of messaging. People are tired of fear mongering weathermen in general. If he’s doing a “boom” piece, the heat is on or he’s very thin skinned.

They’ll jettison him soon. The ratings book will show fluffy news broadcasts with people from God knows where with high school annunciation skills are killing the station. They’ll dump the highest paid employee and hire two more neighborhood reporters and cover Mamou and Perry.

JWJ’s alter ego needs to do a spoof bit…maybe doing a hurricane report standing in Na-Nan’s ditch.

All this said, even the legendary Dick Farout eventually fell in line with the standard narrative and mongering.

That's why I get my weather from Dave Baker

I saw Rob's post which was 12+ hours after the models were picking up the shift. Post was also right before NHC moved their track for the 1st time. After they move the track, there as a "Boom" post from Rob trying to point out to everyone that he is right.

"Zero local weathermen publicized that but not surprised." So this was wrong? Just say you were wrong.
Maybe the Boom was about the track moving and Lafayette not being in the eyewall . Not everyone is as thin-skinned as some RP posters. He would not have a reason for a 'told you so' moment. Literally everyone saw that he was right.
Also weird how yall know so much about people that you swear you do not watch or pay attention too. Very weird.

I think it's one of the dumbest things in the world. Like everyone knows what wind and rain is. You do not have to stand in it!

that never gets old.

Ollie Williams doesn't have to be all overdramatic like that guy to get his point across.

The wobbling earth always survives.

But the species that live on it do not.

BTW
"Back in these early days, storms were really just named on a whim. Connecting a name to a storm didn’t imply all that much about the storm–and it still doesn’t. In 1903, as a friendly gesture, a first officer gave the name Wragge to a monsoon. But when public figures opposed his projects, Wragge tacked their names onto storms, allowing him to take pleasure in reporting certain politicians as “causing great distress,” or “wandering aimlessly about the Pacific.”

[HelmutVII]

In case you missed it. There was a storm named Gordon that formed in the mid Atlantic a fuzzeled out today. It did not impact any land mass. The only way we knew anything about it was by weather satellites. Fifty years ago we would have never known the storm existed. Technology is one of the reasons why we know about so many more storms today. They have always existed we just didn't know about them.

I don't know how these storms go through the alphabet twice, three times back to back.

While I was in Hawaii there was Hone, Gilma, Hector in the Pacific. Two H storms and a G.

I come home and the same letters are being used.
