Re: Nicole Forecast Lounge

You are correct! Why does the NHC and the local weather continue with such statements? At 12:30 this morning the local weather reporters were calling it “Hurricane Nicoleâ€! Then the, cough, cough, meteorologists were all a gush tracking Nicole as a Cat 1 while crossing the state! The NHC tracking map showed “H†before landfall. St. Cloud was to get hurricane force winds. At least 75 mph winds. The eye was being tracked over us. Good Grief!
Odd thing though, while continuing to check outside I was wondering where are the winds? We’re about 50 miles from either coast. No driving rain. No squalls. No nothing which resembled even a lowly tropical storm!
This is exactly why people don’t pay heed to the warnings to evacuate. As a result when the big ones hit such as Ian…people die!
