How much prep time do those guys need? What else do they have to do?

S2K is the best site I have found for Tropical Information/Discussion because of the Pro Mets and informed amateurs. There are specific Pro Mets that I search for amongst the posts in threads at key times; wxman57, airforcemet, Tony (AJC3), many years ago Derek Ortt, and others who I see post off and on (I apologize for not listing you!)
I think the issue brought up in the thread is the "tone" that is sometimes used with the Pro Mets. They will not be correct every time. Either is the NWS. Some users will reject their opinions because it goes against what they "want" to happen. I echo the sentiment above that those who "want" storms should experience the storm from the perspective of a homeowner who has suffered from a storm, or a business owner who loses their business or a lot of revenue; anyone who suffers hardships.
That being said, sometimes we are little too sensitive to "political correctness" and take comments a bit too literally or seriously (I certainly have erupted at kids who ask the same question over and over or "wishcast"; and I am learning to simply ignore them or just report them to a Mod). This is an awesome board and we should value all opinions but particularly those of the Pro Mets who sacrifice the time to engage with us amateurs.
Remember, without Pro Mets this board would cease to be more than a shouting zone for people who really don't know what they are talking about! Be mindful and respectful of them. If you disagree, explain WHY and do it in a respectful manner, it will be appreciated by all.
Finally (I am a bit long-winded); when it is crunch time (defined as a life/property threatening storm), let's all try to refrain from chit-chat BS on the board. This is a source of extremely important information and to have scroll through post after post of "I agree", "The NWS is wrong", "Me Too"..... is very frustrating.
To all; good luck this season and may we all have fun and remain safe!

There's also some sort of wave evident along what may be the axis that is quickly moving east. That axis is from NNE to SSW. At first I thought it might be shear taking off the highest tops, but it's not all that evident on the coldest tops. That ULL near the keys is also in play. I don't think this has a chance of regeneration within the next 24 hours.
