    Another thread where one liberal ass hat lied (again) and another moron liberal goose stepped right along with the lie. What a couple of losers.

    The ol' dependable meteorological "scientists" thought originally that it was going to cut right through FL and into the gulf which would have impacted Alabama.

    One thing is for sure, meteorological science is anything but exact. They could no more predict this hurricanes path or behavior than flap their wings and fly. The same group of some "scientists" who have repeatedly declared our imminent death due to first the Great Freeze and now MMGW which is going to kill us all evidently in 11 years and 4 months.

    I could stand on my front porch in the morning with my coffee and a microphone and predict the weather as well as these nut jobs.

    Michael Lewis has a pretty lengthy section in his book "The Fifth Risk" on the National Weather Service. Weather is a big money business. Lots of people depend on reliable predictions which begat things like AccuWeather and The Weather Channel. But at the end of it all, it's still educated guessing. Much more reliable than standing on one's porch . Dare I say, go stand on the porch and tell me what's going to happen in 5- to 10- days. You probably would bat about .500, at best. The longer the timeframe, the less certainty of the prediction. Even the most sophisticated models get less reliable the farther out into the future one goes. Hell, that's why this whole the planet is going to die in 11 years is bullshit -the historic data spreads over eons and the green nutcases think they can condense that into a tight window. That's insane. Their level of uncertainty is massive. Could be 11 years, could be 11,000 years, could be 11 million years.....

    Where the NWS has improved is the ability to model potential outcomes and determine the combination of conditions that indicate Mother Earth getting pissed off. Specifically, the book detailed readiness and alerts for tornadoes, and how the government communicates the severity of potential storms. Aside from accuracy of predictions, the seismic shift has been in how the NWS communicates WHAT to do in the event of a storm. They used to be like "hey, there's a tornado coming" and people would just shrug and say "well, d'uh - I can stand on my porch with a cup of coffee and predict that. Nothing happened last time I stood on my porch so I'm going to keep standing on my porch". Now, it's more "Get the fuck into an designated shelter spot NOW - we are relatively certain bad shit is coming down the pike in this band of terriotry". Even the pours can understand that.

    The spoiler alert is that Lewis eventually ties that storm warning into an analogy relative to the voting populace kneejerk reaction to political candidates and the unintended consequences of following the two fringe ends of the political spectrum in response to something they don't like....which explains but but Trump as a Not Hilary vote.


    TL;DR, I know. Read the book. It's a good one. Here's some joobs.

    HondoFSJr (and this former Daily Kos writer) now think hurricanes are magic and just disappear when they hit a peninsula. Or maybe when it hits hump day.

    Not sure which one of the three of you is dumber...

    This dumbfuck snowflake literally can't ever admit he's wrong on anything, no matter how trivial it is.

    @insinceredawg are you on a flat monthly retainer fee from the TDS Foundation or a commission/bonus structure like Hondo?

    JFC you admitted yourself he made a mistake based off of outdated info. It's an honest mistake and any normal person can acknowledge they were wrong and move on. Because Trump is such a narcissist and his ego is so fragile, he literally can't ever admit he was wrong on anything, ever. The funniest part is seeing the Trumptards on this board go through the mental gymnastics to try to rationalize and make sense of his bullshit.
