Re: Earl next

wonder if the forecasters will even be more careful in decidiing what to tell the public. If they broadcast that Tampa was THE target...and sold it too strongly (to look like experts) instead of letting people know there is NO CERTAINTY with these systems...well, then, it's a lesson in broadcasting, I think.

No one to blame for the deaths that occurred...just that tragedy often wakes people up.

I wonder if the government will be forthright in telling the casualties...or if, as in Andrew, there will be 2- 30 dead...when all indications will be that the number is so much higher.

It will be interesting to see what the government allows us to "know"...

I trust that if hundreds..or thousands die...they won't tell...
