Our Opinions

Meteorologists are Liars!

WHY does the media slam our President CONSTANTLY? All he did was to say that this was a very strong storm with the potential of extending its wrath all the way to Alabama. Why is this being criticized? And why did the National Weather Service feel the need to make this statement: “The National Weather Service in Birmingham, Alabama, tweeted in response: The National Weather Service in Birmingham, Alabama, tweeted in response: “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.”We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east.” I don’t even know how they could actually make that statement! “Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama.” Isn’t it better to be prepared? It’s not like our President said that Alabama was in the path of the Hurricane…he simply stated that in the original forecast, the models showed a very strong storm that could (COULD) extend all the way to Alabama. Now we all know that meteorologists generally use educated GUESSING for storm trajectories and when they are 100% wrong I don’t see the media SLAMMING the National Weather Service for an INCORRECT PREDICTION as to where a storm is going to hit and how severe it is going to be. As I recall the last Hurricane to hit our shores several months ago was predicted to be a Doozy and it just fizzled out! No one was calling out the meteorologists for all their HYPE!

Although, it is no wonder that the original predictions for the trajectory of Dorian gave the impression that it would run into Flordia and expand it’s wind and rain to the West as the NASA satellites captured the images of Dorian in its early stages of hitting our coastline and beyond. https://www.space.com/hurricane-dorian-satellite-gifs-nasa-… So, if this Hurricane had continued on its “projected” course, SE Alabama would certainly have seen SOME EFFECTS of hurricane Dorian!

Our President just can’t catch a break…meanwhile the Meteorologists keep guessing and making their predictions and they are NOT held to the same criticism & scrutiny and they are wrong 50% of the time!
