re: #66 Anymouse 🌹

You don’t plan on unicorns is true enough. Weather Underground notes that it predicts maximum winds will be 210 in the Florida Straits. That would be a disaster for both Cuba and South Florida (I hear the money printing presses gearing up for Mar-a-Lago right now).

The problem is that pretty much all forecasters will tell you that you can’t “game out” what a hurricane will do with any accuracy after day five.

So while computer modelling after that time seems to indicate Florida needs to prepare, that doesn’t let Alabama west to Mexico off the hook.

Absolutely true. But you plan for the worst scenario. To do any less is a dereliction of your duty as an ER OSS and coordinator of disaster response. People die if you don’t do your job efficiently.
