Hmmm.


Measuring to those tolerances can be pretty stressful. Accounting for
the evaporation and adhesion in the instruments without resorting to
high school style 'fudge factors' can be a real test of character.

rotfl. That might have been his point! They tire each other out passing
useless information a day before conditions start changing when the
operators could have been making last minute preparations. Having been
through a few hurricanes, no mater how well prepared there is always
something left to do.
