I've got to believe that WPRO will. I'll be curious to see what HJJ does. Back in 1991 I heard that HJY had a hurricane party on air. I wonder if they'll do that again. I've missed every single hurricane to hit the state so far. I'm always in CA. So I'm excited to be here for my first storm ever. However if it gets to strong I will be the first Whimp to book it to Albany where it's safe. However as it looks now, I think I will be able to handle 110 mile per hour winds with out much fear. Anything strionger than that and I'm out of here! Booking my hotel tomorow just in case. Good time to stock up on batteries for your portable radios and other essentials. No false alarm this time. This one really looks like it's coming!

Skynet no one is predicting a hurricane for us. There's more of a threat on Cape Cod. Most of the non-coastal portions of the state will get heavy rain & gusty winds so it will be like we had all spring long. I even hate it when I hear alarmist stuff on the radio just for the sake of being dramatic. I heard John DePetro do a live roofing spot this morning, then say you may need roofing after Saturday. Ridiculous!

I would LOVE to be able to take credit for being a mind-reader......but I can't...LOL.
For no reason in particular (good, bad, or otherwise)...I've been tuned in to WALE's "Mid-Day Madness" program, and Jo-Jo Gator spent the better part of the afternoon plugging the heck out of it.
And that's the sad, ugly truth......LOL...LOL

We do need to have a little alarmist attitude around here as we haven't had a hurricane of any sorts here in 18 years and Bob was an ok storm, prior to that we had Gloria (bigger storm) and then Belle before that. Think about this, most teenagers have never encountered or can remember a hurricane in this state.....with all of the construction that has gone on in South County over the past 18 years (I believe there may be 3 houses total that haven't changed between Sand Hill Cove and Galilee for example in that timeframe) and even though Bob was not any way close to a large hurricane, it caused enough damage (took out the 1st floor of the Galilee Beach Club, Coast Guard House in the Pier and shut down East Matunuck Beach for the rest of the season) to make a major storm here a very big concern because people have laxed and/or don't know any better.
I Thought WPRO and Bill Haberman really over Hyped the storm.. It never was a Hurricane . It wound up being a rain storm of no big deal, but WPRO for FIVE DAYS attempted to scare the crap out of anybody that listened beforehand. I guess I'm sayin WPRO had the worst coverage . sorry.

But you know what would have happened? The one time a storm doesn't get hyped is the one time it will turn out to be a Major Hurricane with 150 Mile per hour winds that wipes out everything. Then people would be blaming the radio station for all the deaths because the station didn't give people enough time to prepare. Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.
I don't think it was over-hyped. The forecast changed greatly as the days went on. I checked accuweather.com, the service where WPRO gets their weather from & things really weren't downgraded until the day or night before the storm. I didn't listen to WPRO for the weather, & don't listen as much as I used to as Accuweather's website is a prime example of the Internet replacing other media for instant information. What I consider over-hyping is editorial comments like "we're gonna get slammed", etc.
"Dubba-yew dubba-yew dubba-yew..."
Accuweather.com's marine forecast is generally more-useful-than weather.com's.

What is that? On Twitter? He has to tweet. Channel 10's website is so lame it rarely gets updated and on the weekend it's worse. That website won some kind of award? What a joke. Accuweather's site is good but is so weather geek oriented that there's almost too much information.
