Default Re: NOAA got it right!

Funny. Unfortunately NOAA is always predicting the sh*t will hit the fan. They are not even 50-50 on accuracy. And it's always blown favoring exaggerated devastation.

When you blow it all the time, people lose faith in you being reliable even to believe. That's even worse. .

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Or as my old man used to say: "...Even a blind chicken finds something to eat once in a while."

If you think about it, you or I will likely have the same or better accuracy rate always saying the sky is falling.

What annoys me most about NOAA is they don't update blown forecasts. They will play the clearly wrong forecast all day long on 162.55MHz. Wasn't updates the reason humans stopped doing the recordings in the 1990's?

Overall they do a good job but sometimes we curse them, like when they say NW 5-10 and we run west only for it to change to SE
