Hey Phil,

Do you think NHC hasn't really spoke up much this year because of the all mighty $$ ?
Once NHC, steps up and says there is a TD or TS, then the money wheel starts spinning. (or spending)
The local weather picks up on it, and before you know it, they are sending planes, changing schedules etc. etc.
I was here for the Floyd mis-hap when
Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral and Orlando went code RED for a complete miss of the storm. NHC had lots of Egg on there faces. Maybe it's thoses types of situations in the past that have finally caught up with NHC, so they are playing the cautious card??
