I live one hour west of Wilmington, NC. I checked weatherunderground.com which said the winds in my city were 4 mph with gusts of 12 mph. All this while I watched the pine trees in back of the house practically bent over to the ground and shingles next door snapping off. I kept thinking, “If this is 4 mph, I surely don’t want to see 40 mph! Perhaps weatherunderground was having technical difficulties today.
Dear Mr. “Hurricane Hoax”,
Tell the people whose houses have washed away that this was a hoax.
Rick
He didn’t say it was a hoax, fool. He said he couldn’t find evidence that hurricane force winds were in place at landfall. Wind speed has to maintain at 72mph for this classification. Now finish bagging my groceries, Goober.
Tell us whose houses that you personally know of that have been washed away. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. However, I have been looking at places with so called high winds – hurricane force – and wow – look at all those cars driving down the road. I spent hours prepping my house / property for the so called trop. storm that I’m expected to get. Also – different sites are saying different things with regard to when it will turn to a tropical storm – one states up in northern NH and another says Connecticut. My wife heard a newscaster calling this hurricane a “developing storm.” A hurricane is already developed.
Mike,
This was called a “phony” hurricane… pretty much the same as a hoax. Now finish waxing the floor. Shmuck.
