    Joaquin! Haha, can you imagine if this was a really bad hurricane that they talk about for decades. The news lady saying, "And we haven't seen anything this severe since Joaquin."

    I don't know how they, whoever they are, come up with these predictions about hurricanes. You really don't know until it happens. It's like betting on a horse. Except with horses you know how many there are in a race. With hurricanes you just don't know.

    hogwash

    They absolutely CANNOT predict a hurricane hitting the eastern coast right now. Way too early. Besides they are wrong a lot. Every year there's a chance for a direct hit. We are due but, I wouldn't go thinking this is the year just cause some meteorologist says so.

    Hurricane's are somewhat unpredictable. You can get a general idea of the path, intensity. But, that's it nobody knows for sure what it will do.
