heral, I could understand that in 1938, pre satellites, when there was little warning of just how severe a storm was, and little predictability about its projected path and landfall, when forecasters relied on reports from ships at sea, aircraft, and the islands or other places already hit by the storms, but why now when there would be ample warning?posted by Gungho at 4:32 AM on July 13, 2008 Gun
