Hurricane Warnings May Change
The National Weather Service may change its hurricane warnings following Superstorm Sandy. A spokesman said it could start issuing watches and warnings for storms that threaten life and property, even if they aren't technically hurricanes or tropical storms. Some have criticized the agency's silence on Superstorm Sandy. The National Hurricane Center stopped issuing warnings when Sandy weakened from a hurricane to a storm. Even though it was just a storm by the time it hit land, it has left billions of dollars in damage. Some say residents might have taken more precautions if they had understood how bad a superstorm could be.

Oh, well, yeah, that will solve it! Changing the words used will reduce the devastation! AWESOME! Crisfield could have avoided all their damage if we would have used different words to describe it!
Better buy extra milk and bread everytime it's cloudy.
OK , let's point the finger at the weather people , it's all their fault.
I can't believe anyone with a lick of brains will believe this other than liberal democrats , has to be somebodies fault.
I saw it on every news station for many days , next thing we will have to wipe peoples butts after a movement.
Oh socialism is here , sure can't see any light at the end of this tunnel.
Print some more money and buy everyone a new home.
I don't see how the weather service is responsible for the devastation. How much more advising do you need when you are told to evacuate? I think I will sue them next time a puddle forms in my back yard, since they didnt warm me that it was probable. what the ... is wrong with this country? can anyone think or plan for themselves without being told too? next on the legislation butt wiping instructions including how many squares to use.
Stay with care.
As I recall, the weather stations I was watching (local and national) were saying that Sandy was the storm of the century with strong wind gusts, a lot of rain and severe tidal surges. It's the response time by FEMA that was lagging behind. Power companies should have been better prepared to get power to people that were without.
As I recall, they never was a hurricane watch or warning issued by the NWS. Did anyone else catch this?
