Hurricane Helene question

How in the frick did the government retards get the tracking so wrong?!? They had it blowing west into middle TN the entire time and all the pressure, temp and wind data in the universe.
It makes me sick to my stomach that while people are dying by the hundreds in the mountains, the government is sitting on their arse and crying about climate change to cover their fricking incompetence.
Trust us! We can't even predict the way the wind is going to blow frickING tomorrow with a billion data points but we know with 1000000000% certainty what the temp will be in 50 years. SCIENCE IS SETTLED SO SHUT THE frick UP OR IT'S THE GULAG FOR YOU.
Those poor people. I can't get the images out of my head of that grandmother and 8yo on the roof of the house that collapsed.

Denying human induced climate change and claiming there is election fraud in 2020 is like a Mao Cultural revolution struggle session.
They keep hammering those ideas and arguments until you give in and fall in line. Then they can move on and complete the revolution with no resistance.

The tracking wasn't "so wrong".

The track wasn’t really wrong. It went where predicted and then stalled and dumped 30” of rain on the mountains that had already been saturated the prior week. Very similar to the Baton Rouge/Denham Springs flooding 10 years ago.

The hurricane did pretty much what it was expected to do, went through fairly quickly too. It did, however, grow much bigger than was expected. The real tragedy was lack of movement by the states and especially the federal government. Reservoirs weren’t lowered at all. The topography here demands that you have huge catch basins. This put a tremendous strain on the dams. Evacuation plans were never put in place. Rescue was never mobilized for after, the 82nd Airborne is almost next door. With these twisty mountain roads and how fast the water came up, these people didn’t stand a chance. Now we clean up.

Correct. The possible rain forecast was very much predicted in the areas that it happened. This was very much the forecast at least four days before it happened:
OP just looking for attention

Dude, you talking about the government trying to predict the weather….

They wanted clicks and views, so they had to create sensationalist headlines with the storm going through the heart of Atlanta and working its way across the country to other major metropolitan areas. No one would be glued to their TV/computer screen if they said it was going to hit mostly rural Appalachian areas. Never mind the fact that the damage from mountain runoff causing flash floods would prove catastrophic to these areas.
It's all about optics, clicks, and distraction from real threats and issues.

I've been through 5 hurricanes. The tracking 2 days out was wrong on all of them. They're just guessing based on the path the thing has taken since yesterday.

The weather forecast on Asheville the news nailed how it was going to play out the evening before (I watched it). The storm was actually less severe than they predicted - they estimated the French Broad River to hit 31 ft and it only hit 27 ft (21 ft was the historical record). People were given good information with time to get out. The choices they made with it were not ideal

OP better not complain about fake news because this thread is a fake news masterclass.
Very first forecast track when even before the center formed.
And this is the actual track
This is a Nation Weather Service discussion the day before calling for catastrophic flooding in western North Carolina.
