Well, IMHO, all of those that said "beware there could be a big problem on
its way" are in the right.

Surely if there had been loss of life, severe damage to buildings that
this
could have caused and no-one said anything then it would be "what
hurricane?" all over again?

The weather is an unpredictable beast.

Everyone does their best, the seers, the scryers, the seeweeders, the
computer models, but at the end of the day, Mother Nature is gonna do it
her
way and thats that. No refunds, no changing of minds, the editors
decision
is final.

For the most part the forecasters get it close (and sometimes they get it
right), but this was an instance where the possibilities never occured.

But, and this is a key but to all forecasting techniques

Can the reason it wasnt right be discerned and learned from?

All I can say is well done Will - at least we were prepared - its not
crying
wolf as some have suggested, as from what I have read there is the
possibility of something nasty tonight too.

Si (a very interested observer of the weather rather than a forecaster)



I agree. No need to apologise Will.
