Crazy for Hurricane Season
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008My old friend Trey is back this issue to talk about Hurricane Season. He doesn’t seem to share my opinion that predictions about Hurricane Season are a complete waste of time.
I’m constantly amazed at the press Dr. William Gray and other hurricane gurus get each year in predicting how many storms we’re going to have, when they’re wrong every year. Why don’t I just try predicting how many Hollywood types are going to get veneers on their teeth or boob jobs? (OK, actually, that would be easier than predicting the weather.)
I just don’t see the purpose these inaccurate “predictions” serve. All they do is help the local TV station move “tracking charts” down at whatever grocery store they’ve partnered with this year. Next year maybe I’ll have one of my rat terriers pull names out of a hat to predict which storms will be bad and will hit the U.S. and we’ll see who gets closer.
