Default Hurricanes...glad we dont have them here

I would much rather be complaining about snow this week than a hurricane.

The Carolinas are going to get smacked hard.

We were in Myrtle Beach this past April, planning to go back again next April. Hope the damage isn't too bad. We stayed in a beautiful 'resort' park right on the beach.

I agree... I'd prefer snow over these and subsequent Sharknados too

I hope people down south weather the storm ok. We are so fortunate weather wise here in Alberta. As long as you know how to enjoy the snow...

We do have Huricanes in Lethbridge and only dream of them being stronger.
I do deal with corporate contacts in North Carolina and they are bugging out today for about a week. Funny last week they were sky diving at Ft. Bragg to squirreling away inland looking for a hole to hide in on high ground.

Default Faked weather forecasting

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/09/...d-gets-caught/

Media caught faking the intensity of the storm.

Pretty hilarious. Reporter struggling to keep his footing and then a couple dudes sauntered by behind him.

Too funny.

That is pretty funny.
The coverage of these things has become more of a "show" than genuine news.
Reporter: "man they flew me down here to do this hit from the parking lot of my Motel 6, I better make this look good....suck it Cuomo!!"
