misleading

I was just watching a rerun of the American Hurricane Relief Concert on streaming video and they were doing a little prerecorded section on the weekend before the hurricane. They showed people hanging out on the beach all unsuspecting and then played a clip of a met showing Katrina's turn to the North, and voiced over the guy and talked about Katrina's "sudden turn to the North". Technically it was sudden, because it was a pretty sharp turn, but they absolutely made it sound like it was a suprising development. How misleading is THAT? They are broadcasting this nationally and acting like these people could have no no idea that a storm was coming their way until the "sudden turn to the North". Guess they've never heard of a cone of probability!
