18. I didn't see your earlier post, but I wouldn't say you were a panic monger
because I know the nature of hurricanes. The weather liars (some people call them forecasters, not I) will say it's not a threat because it moved away from the coast, but they seem to not have made the connection. That's when a hurricane is the most dangerous. What was Katrina a categoty 3 when it hit Florida and then a 4 while it was in between Florida and the Gulf Coast and then a 5 (the worst possible) right before it hit landfall? Uhm, how much more warning did the people in positions of power need? What did they do beforehand? They downplayed the danger until the last possible minute.
