DT is a "professional" weather forecaster...who has some rather strong opinions. He posts on a couple of other boards.

No doubt, his thoughts are informative...but, on the other hand, he is so resistant to any criticism that sometimes it is hard to take him seriously.

That said, I tend to think that his forecast for Frances is better than the official...but this question was geared towards one of DT's "tropical cyclone rules".

Okay, I wasnt asking about him personally as much as the accuracy of any of the "rules" on the page I linked to. So are any of them worth following (or considering, even?)
