There are other times when a storm is predicted & no retention pond 'activity' is taken, leading me to believe that they have better information than any of the weather 'fraudcasters' we have access to are giving out.
The typical 'fraudcasters' we have access to, for a long time, have been subscribing to the "Chicken Little.... The sky is falling, the sky is falling" line of forecasting. I don't know about anyone else, but.... when Irma came thru a few weeks ago, those were the 2 best days of weather that week! All that buildup about our destruction here, & for us here in The Villages..... Nothing.
Any information, ideas, preferences, recommendations?? I have tried all the sites I know of.
Thanks

The FOX weather app does pretty good and their radar goes FORWARD about 5-6 hours, whereas Accuweather and the Weather Channel apps go back a few hours which does no good for the future.
