Hopefully everyone in the media is smarter than to do something like that. Past that, I agree with anything that is not alarmist that will raise awareness.


Right. If every year you issue somewhat of a dire prediction and it doesn't come true people will become immune to it. When I say "people", obviously I am referring to the general public and not avid weather watchers.

Everyone should be prepared I'm not a total believer on predicting the upcoming season. But most will be prepared. In June I'll weigh more into what will happen in the season then right now. I think the hype is good to push the general public in getting supplies.
