GlasserinD.... I am sure you have it all figured out, and that's why your complaining.... Nature is never easy to predict. There are tons of variables all changing at the same time, which makes it challenging for scientists to figure out anything. It is especially difficult to predict what large, powerful storms are going to do. Some people that post here are experts, others are just interested. However, just because someone is an expert in a field does not give them the ability to predict the future. Scientists look at all the available data and then make reasonable predictions based upon that. Unfortunately, it's the best we can do. Most of the comments on this page have all been very reasonable explanations for what could happen.
