Colleen is a long time member here, and although not everyone agrees with everything she has to say, we respect her opinions.

I object to you asking her to defend her "credentials". Who do you think you are, hiding behind anonymous access? We are not all experts here, and don't claim to be.

The NHC does not always do a stellar job (noone is perfect, and this is an imperfect science to start with) and there are times their forecasts are based more on politics and the fear of causing panic, than on reality. Its too bad the past years of posts got lost, because if you went back several years you would see this is a common issue throughout. We all get frustrated with the NHC at times.

We welcome your opinions, but we don't welcome bashing others for theirs.
