I'm sorry MODs, if you disapprove of this message ...but I REALLY feel bad for Yoda here. And I will always defend anyone I feel is being treated wrongly.



The reason like i said for my inital post was because i was hearing that this was a prank from another BB which i will not name. This btw is what was posted at that bb.

"I just listened to the Weather Channel. They say for 2 AM max sustained winds at 155 mph and minimum central pressure at 920. Don't know about you, Yoda, but I say you've been had. "

Again, I am sorry to all... I think I need to go sit in the corner for a while with all the beatings I am getting from the other weather boards... but not much on here.

Approximately two minutes after Yoda posted it, TWC said 905MB and 187kts FL winds. They repeated the 905MB a few minutes later. Since then, there has been no mention and they have gone back to the 2AM advisory.

Don't feel bad or dumb. To me it looked real enough. Hoax vortex, unbelievable! I glad I was sleeping while this was going on. It seems that there's nothing that can't be tampered with on the internet anymore. My question is how did you exactly get this?
