MolaKule said:But of course hurricanes now are much different than they used to be because of global climate change. The Weather Channel even had Hurricane Week last week to coincide with Shark Week. Pathetic. The Weather Channel has turned weather into a 24 hour drama.
The specialty channels continue to move along with their entertainment agenda, facts be dammed.

It seems that way, but then again, I remember through the 70's and 80's we really didn't have that many storms in Florida and those that did come weren't that bad. Then came Andrew. My Dad who is 94 and has lived his whole life in Florida can remember some big ones (like the storm of '28), but I remember David and Fredrick being just kind of a stormy, windy day.
