The problem is people think that a 5 day forecast should be 100% accurate, which it isn't. The models are really designed to be 90% accurate to 3 days.

Not to mention people see the cone and think it's going right down the middle. That is the area where the eye wall can travel over the forecast period

Well duh that's why the cone gets wider

Well duh that's why the cone gets wider

People don't think that though. They think that is the size of the storm and it's going down the middle

People are dumb too

Over half of the homes in Florida are without power. So he's lucky

A lot more seem to have power and were unaffected than I thought there would be?

We call them "managers".

My manager isn't dumb. He's awesome!

Is your carbon monoxide detector going off?

People are dumb too

Well this is Florida we're talking about.

Nope. That's one advantage to working at FedEx, we generally have a better employee/manager relationship. Not saying I haven't had any a--holes, just more decent ones than bad, and some great ones.

First Response is advertised with 99% accurate results up to 6 days sooner.

Were men. What do we care?

I don't think people appreciate the complexity of forecasting. The computers they use to run the models are among the biggest and most powerful in the world, but it still takes 4 hours for it to spit out results.

Its a no win for the forecasters. Underestimate and people die, overestimate and people bitch.

Sounds like PDS 101 at ups. Except they are really really dumb and obnoxious. And dumb. And I wanna punch them in the ears. And dumb.
