Sometimes a little sarcasm seems justified. Early on, the forecast had the storm staying well away from us here. I believe by Wednesday afternoon, the forecast had us receiving less than 2" of rain and at less than 30% chance of 50mph winds. If we weren't going to get the winds and we weren't going to get the rain and we weren't going to get the storm surge then what necessitated the concern and the closures?
I'm thankful hurricane John didn't do much here. But then again, I didn't expect it to since it was not forecast to come here. I'm thankful Helene took the track it did and we knew early on it would not have a great effect here.
