The forecast model for the predicted path of this storm only contains 2.....YES, ONLY 2 possible cases where the storm would be drawn in towards the coast and hit us squarely on the south coast.
The problem is that these 2 possiblities require the jet stream to drop down from Canada to Florida within the next 3 days.
Forgive, but if that were to happen, the hurricane would be our LAST concern!!!!!

(Sounds like someone is trying to glorify their position for contract renewal time!)
The meteorologists have to be cover their tails so they don't get jail time like the Italians did.

While the above is said in jest, I do agree that it's rather silly how they make mountains out of molehills. But, I guess they have to talk about something.
