"But using the word "hype" IMHO is irresponsible" Equally irresponsible is using "catastrophic", "once in a lifetime event", "historic damage" to describe an obviously weakening system that never was as powerful as the "weather experts" were reporting it to be .. TWC is interviewing Jeff Morrow who is currently reporting from Atlantic Beach NC right where the center of circulation is supposed to be .. Barely raining and winds in the 30-40 mph range .. He stated that the maximum "gusts" were barely over 60 mph and that was during the overnight period .. IRENE is a deteriorating tropical storm at best right now and the people covering this know it .. BTW, I'm in sw CT right where the center of circulation is supposed to be some time late Sunday .. Everyone here was absolutley put in a frenzy by the sensational coverage of this "storm" .. Now the talking heads on TWC are trying to report/find maximum "gusts" .. Gimme a break .. Trust me .. next time .. everyone stays home .. BTW we ( taxpayers ) pay the weater service a ton of money to get the "facts" correct .. You can't say it was "blowing 50 mph all night" in Atlantic Beach NC and still call it a "hurricane" .. Triff ..
