It makes sense for all of us to have a hurricane kit. And having extra food and water on hand before any named storm is sound practice. I watch as much storm coverage as most people when they are forecast. For Colin, I haven't heard the first word from anyone about boarding up windows... Who said that? I can add that storm after storm, year after year forecasters and meteorologists sound the alarm if you will to NOT drive through standing water. Yet, people do and people drown. Maybe some people need to be alarmed for their own good, but I don't think "alarmists" defines most forecasters.
