I hope that no one in Florida is stupid enough to listen to this crap and fails to make preparations for the oncoming storm based on the word of this drug addled gasbag.
I just love correcting your idiocy. Living in Florida it gets very obvious that weather prediction is a best guess. Let me educate you on a major problem scientists came across while running software to emulate weather using fluid mechanics formulas. They were using a PDP 8 computer. It was a 12 bit computer. They were running 16 bit software. The computer program saved data points periodically. The decided to rerun a section of the data.
The result came out differently. They found what was saved was 12 bit not 16 bit data points. The lower 4 bits have a value of. 15. 16 bits are 65,535. The scientists called that small effect the butterfly factor since it is such a small amount. Therefore a butterfly flying through the air will impact the weather sometime later. We have planes and other transportation vehicles running around. You are deluded to think meteorology is an exact science. Why do you think they show several possible tracks for a huricame to go? I remember one hurricane that did small figure 8's in the gulf before taking off in an east north east direction.. The meteorologists were puzzled!!
WEATHER PREDICTIONS ARE A BEST GUESS!!!
