Channels 10 & 6 S.Fla

Have pretty much written off Frances as a major S. Florida event. Wind shear from high in Carribean, more northerly track...

You forgot to mention we have some of the worst meteorologists.

yoda, why are you consistently backing up hurricane_lover and his negative attitude on this board?

What do you mean? What negative attitude? The post I made was a statement of what he said. I only back him up because of all the stuff going on surrounding him.

Lame attempt at satire :roll:. ie. N.C. - his guess at North Carolina is Not Close. Probably should have gone with Slim Chance though. :D

However, he may be right in a way. A lot of storms after they weaken after going inland tend to trend in that direction.

negative attitude = his prowling the forum for opportunities to throw out "told you so's"

and yes, you are backing him up, i would assume because you feel this is appropriate to do on a discusssion board of this nature. since this storm will not make landfall for more than 24 hours, why wouldn't he want to show some restraint?

I only back him up when people start doing stuff to him. Yes, I know his forecast is wrong. Yes, I know its not going to the Carolinas. Hmm, let me talk to him then over PM.

Sigh... more hash words. Not getting involved or backing up anyone. But I would be interested in hurricane_lover's reason for thinking so strongly this is going up north. I am always open to others views.

fine, talk to him... but what exactly is "doing stuff to him"? responding to his posts? calling him on his sh*t? letting him know that this is a more civil forum than he thought it was?

i've lurked this place for a year, rarely posting, and never forecasting landfalls because i'd prefer to leave that to people who have the appropriate skills. so, i guess i'm a little more sensitive to folks who fail to show respect to the meteorlogical field and those that are in it.

All that stuff in that one thread that Marshall locked I find is downright horrendous and rude, to say the least, AFTER he left the thread.
