FlaSoxxJim Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 The overcompensation effect is occurring right now. With Katrina fresh on everybody's mind and the government so determoned to do a better job this time around, they urged a far too general m ass populace to get out rather than trying to make sure the most vulberable sites were evacuated first. Always a supreme challenge with the unpredictability of hurricanes I know, but one of the reasons they usually wait until the storm is about 48 hours out is so that they by then have landfall pinpointed to within a couple hundred miles. The downside to that, of course is only having two days for everybody to secure their property and get out, and if it is a populated area it will create it's own problems. I have to rethink this whol coastal living situation. So, isnybody planning on playing the Cantore Drinking game during his coverage? We did it during Jeanne – until oue power went out. It's easy to play. Just take a shot of your favorite adult beverege each tome Jimbo says "hunker down." If the power didn't go out on us we would have been pretty sauced.

Named after famed Weather Channel Storm Chaser Jim Cantore, who is always sent to areas that have the highest probability of being destroyed by the storm. Usage: Holy s***, we're the cantore center for this one. I just saw him doing a live remote from my driveway. It's going to be very bad.

Yeah I'd be thinking long and hard about that right about now if you well living on the coast. It's just something that were probably going to see a lot more of in the future unfortunately.
