"A day after a storm dumped more than a foot of snow, causing tens of thousands of people to lose power and stalling air and rail traffic, weather-weary Northeast residents braced for a repeat — a second storm packing potentially damaging wind gusts up to 50 mph and possibly more than another foot of snow.
The second part of the two-day, 1-2 winter punch was expected Thursday, and the National Weather Service said the storm would be "significant and long-lasting...
...The National Weather Service criticized State College, Pa.-based Accuweather Inc. for referring to the storm that way and for saying it would be "hurricane-like" and a "monster." NWS meteorologist Craig Evanego said the terminology was "almost inciting the public, inciting panic."
Accuweather called the NWS criticism "unfounded" and said there's nothing wrong with using language that gets people's attention when the situation calls for it."

It just makes you wonder why those crazy "preppers" have a generator, some water and a little extra food around, doesn't it? Being prepared is just so, oh I don't know, apocalyptic, isn't it?

Tom,
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder if the following might NOT be coincidental:
Question: Where do most of the pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage Catholics live?
Answers: On the west coast and in the northeast.
Question: Where have the greatest weather and economic disasters been occurring recently?
Answer: On the west coast and in the northeast.

Just a thought............
;-)
Weird, isn't it?
