They come up with some new "exclusive" ratings graph that shows "extreme" or catastrophic. If this is just another 50mph blow don't you think at some point they will loose credibility?

People are spending a lot of $$ to prepeare for this and if it turns out to be mild and not worth it, the next time they will not prepare like that and that would be when the "big one" hits...There needs to be some accountability on their behalf.

I couldn't agree more!
