If you were a meteorologist you might too. How often does "scattered storms with a high of 80" get boring? This is a major Meteorological event. It gives them something to talk about, it gets them excited. Beside, they also don't want people to get complacent. Hurricanes / tropical storms are difficult to predict. It might hit land and turn into a light shower within an hour, or it may gain strength over the everglades or off one of the coasts and come kick our butt. Storms shouldn't be taken lightly - even though us experienced Floridians ride them out like pros. Fay turned into nothing, but don't forget she left a wake of bodies in her path before she got here. Better to be safe than sorry. In a way. If you were a meteorologist you might too. How often does "scattered storms with a high of 80" get boring? This is a major Meteorological event.

I think they would rather go on and on about a "possibility" than have that happen again.
