Re: Hurricane Warning Up Morgan City, LA to FL/Alabama Border

No wishcasting at all. Why would I wish a category 5 (potential) hurricane on myself!?!?

I am simply saying that it is too soon to declare anywhere safe. But to say that the models are accurate is, well, putting too much faith in computers. I'm a software engineer. The computer models are initiated with data that is 6 hours old at times, which is what leads them to sometimes flip-flop. Plus, well, no computer is perfect. Every storm I can think of has moved somewhat off of the forecast track.

Does that mean that people in N.O. should rela\x? HECK NO! It means that NO ONE should relax!!!
