Hurricanes

No matter how hard the news and weather media try, they can't make something out of nothing, obviously some people got too much rain and have problems, but over all, with this many hurricanes coming in, it added up to nothing.
We in the central to eastern areas of the U.S. get 90% of our summer rains from hurricanes. So it's kinda dis-concerning that we're charged a bad weather premium at the pump for something that is beneficial to us.

I agree, here in Michigan we were devastated by tornadoes this summer people lost everything they had and hardly a mention of it on the news the media most deffinatly plays up the hurricanes and sounds almost disappointed when they are not as strong as predicted

Weather forecasting is the only job where you can be wrong 90% of the time and still have a job.

We have a dork on a local TV station that can take 15 minutes to tell you it might rain tonight and then again it might not. He must get paid by the word.

I'll second that! I'm on the west side of michigan and this summer we had what they didn't call tornados, but some kind of down draft wind that knocked trees down eveywhere. I've never seen a force like this before in 40 + years of living here.

If a baseball player bats .300 he gets paid $10 mil a year... Not wrong 90% of the time, but 70% of the time.
