    Why doesn’t NOAA just predict good weather for a change? Seems like a waste of disaster response resources to keep having these storms year after year.

    We were one of the places nailed with Fiona last year, not looking forward to another potentially active hurricane season, many still haven’t fully recovered from last year.

    We might be in for a real storm of the century here and not just that one movie one.

    Maybe we’ll get a hurricane reaching the midwest this time.
