These people are NUTS!!! I live in the hurricane zone, and we count on NHC and NOAA!! I'm speechless.....this is totally ridiculous.
On a prior post: On Friday night before the storm hit Max Mayfield of the National Hurricane Center took the unprecedented action of calling Nagin and Blanco personally to plead with them to begin MANDATORY evacuation of New Orleans and they said they'd take it under consideration. This was after the NOAA buoy 240 miles south had recorded 68' waves before it was destroyed.
Sidenote: Ones must not remember that Max Mayfield called La. Gov. Kathleen Blanco in the middle of the night to warn her again about Katrina. He said that he would not have been able to sleep if he did not call her again to warn and plead with her of the dangers. (not exact words but he was extremely concerned that she was ignoring the warnings)
