Re: Ophelia Moves Away For Now

I think people are storm weary to some extent. I know Texas is concentrating on helping out the evacuees and getting the kids
into schools. So we are still focused on the aftermath of Katrina.
And I think after Katrina Ophelia doesn't seem like such a threat (which she could be down the road). Therein lies the danger. If she
strengthens she could become a threat and people may not be ready. I also don't think people pay much attention to TS and Cat 1
hurricanes. They tend to pay more attention if the hurricane becomes major. I think the NHC is doing the best they
can in forecasting this storm but she's tricky. No, you don't worry too much. Never hurts to be prepared.
