Re: Make Up Your Mind!

In reply to:

Who really cares what has made her this way. Let's just be glad it has happened and hope it continues


The biggest reason for caring is that if we care, we will seek to understand, and with understanding comes the potential to forecast better and potentially save lives in the future.

The anger you allude to is not likely due to disappointment that it isn't going to hit Florida (or any other specific spot), but that it is so rare to see such perfection (even in a storm) that is a bit of a letdown to see it disintegrate. At the same time, I'd bet money that virtually all of those that are 'angry' are also relieved that it isn't a) coming where they are, or b) won't be a cat5 when it does get where they are.
