Any one down there broadcasting ??

Anyone hear anything ?

From what I saw on TV, the Mexicans were way better prepared than
those people in Florida. The shelters had real beds, not cots, and a
very nice buffet.

That was at a swanky resort was it not? Where the folks were taken out of their
individual bungalows and brought into a main building, hence the very nice
buffet?

I rather doubt all of Mexico is that prepared, elsewise they'd be ready to
welcome back all the illegals that are here.

The Mayan Riviera is doing pretty well. I doubt too many are fleeing
for economic reasons.

NO ONE

no one..

would ever assign a Reporter / Filmcrew to the area where
a Cat 4 hurricane crosses the coastline

- I mean, unless they want to get into the Body recovery
/ Liablilty Lawsuit Business..

Dealing with Grieving Widows & Orphans & such..?

All the film crews I've seen have been parked well inland,
in fortified buildings,
possibly with Aux. Power

Please go back to Sat Radio & don't venture out side of
Strip Mall America

One of the Dumbest responses I'v read in a Long time..

NO ONE

would send a reporter to go into an area where there would be major
devastation..

They're parked somewhere safe, well away from the coastline
in a storm proof shelter..

Possibly at a place that has Aux. Power..

Send a Film crew down to where the Cat 4 eyewall is going to hit the
coast..?

Unless you like Million Dollar Liability Lawsuits.. Grieving Widows &
Orphans

- Don't think so,..

David, you have outdone yourself..

- Please stay where you are in Strip Mall America..

- Sorry David,

Dan Rather was Probably just reporting innacurate info...

Possibly making incorrect inferences from wind speeds recorded high up
over open water
and extrapolationg to whatever inland place he was at the time

read info in the links below for clarificatin..

http://clemsonews.clemson.edu/WWW_re...er_Sparks.html

" In the most recent example of Hurricane Georges, the National
Hurricane Center reported maximum sustained winds of 100 mph as it made
landfall.

But Sparks said an analysis of information from data buoys and land
stations by the Hurricane Research Division of the National Oceanic and
Aeronautic Administration put the figure at only 84 mph for ocean
exposures -- which would mean overland speeds would be even lower. "

SNIP

" He added that erroneous reports also went out after Hurricane Bonnie,
with the National Hurricane Center issuing reports that a Category 3
hurricane with sustained winds of 115 mph had swept over Wilmington,
N.C., even as the National Weather Service at Wilmington measured and
reported a maximum of only 56 mph. "

- and if you look at this wind speed. / description / effects scale
you can see that a 50+ MPH wind is probably what he was talking about..
A Non trivial speed..
Ever stood up , unsupported..in a convertible going 55 MPH ??

( They Call Him.... " David Road Rash.." )

http://www.marinewaypoints.com/marine/wind.shtml

Cozumel has very few trees to slow things down and is ~20 feet high at
it's highest..

- So I Hope the forcasts of wind speed ( at the surface) were similarly
exaggerated..

( Still no news.. )
