While there are numerous posters on storm2k that provide great
information, there are some that provide misleading information.
That is not a risk worth taking!
I don't think anyone needs ot apologize to you. It is irresponsible to say any area is safe until much closer to landfall when all chances of turn are rulled out. If I thought that way I would have not even watched since this was supposed to be a TX storm. Things can change rapidly and EVERYONE in the GOM needs to watch. There have been many times when a storm changed direction. I really don't TX has much of a chance but only mother nature or maybe God knows for sure.
Oh I know. Let anyone else be arrogant but try to stay above the fray. FWIW, as a former hardcore rocker myself, being a punk is kind of a good thing. But you don't want to get in trouble with the powers that be.
