The thing is however, most of these things usually begin to peter out once they get over land. But again, I guess the NWS has to err on the side of caution. And there would probably be no end to te lawsuits if one of the television weathermen told us not to worry about it and the storm did something crazy.
that is why you are not a meteorologist, those are projections for the center of the storm. some of the worst storm effects are on the sides of the storm where turbulence can generate tornadoes and other wind effects....we were well within that zone in all but one projection...the storm is way more than a group of thin lines
