Can we rein in the hysteria and get real?

This is the general tropical discussion area. Anyone can take their shot at predicting a storms path.

Better to have people excited about predicting and forecasting dangerous storms so that we all become better imformed or well prepared rather than people who don't give a flip about it and a storm shows up on your door unannouced.

You are right... it is easy to get anxious. But anxiousness and hysteria are two different things entirely. You have every right to be anxious my friend.

I think you can start calling it hysteria when we make movies about hurricanes like someone did with the AC-130 Gunship like this............
