He probably missed, we just didn't have the tech to know it.

The second best meteorologist we ever had

I saw Nash at a Scweggman's back in the late 80s. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

That's a bizarre story....

Back then you actually had to but blood, sweat, and tears into that cone. You couldn't just throw up whatever a computer spit out and then adjust it every 6 hours until it hits. That's why it was a bunch of grumpy old white men instead of the latina girls in tight dresses like you have today.
Some call it progress. Hah!

That probably sounded a lot funnier in your head.

Friend,
He grossly missed on Camille in 69. And Macintosh is precise in his estimation.

The legend of Nash Roberts seems to grow every hurricane season.
I was just a kid in his heyday, and maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but I remember him being wrong a lot, just like every other meteorologist.

Before satellites. Predicted Thursday morning. Came ashore Tuesday night.

Nash was an a- hole in real life. My grandmother hated him because of Camille

He had the best instincts ever for where a hurricane was going to go, even with the primitive technology available to him.

If you're referring to Bob Breck, that jackass had Katrina heading up the Atlantic coast of Florida.

He may have been wrong a lot, but he was right on that.

People are going to take that fake story as true.
