I've met a handful of them over the years - and they really are a great bunch. Its not an easy job that they've got - the responsibility is significant - and they don't like to 'bust' a forecast any more than I do.

I think that we'd all agree that whether the storm today was a TD or not didn't really pose any life-threatening significance since the flood potential was well covered for the public. Probably worth keeping in mind for later in the season - nobody's perfect in this business

Cheers,
