A little fun exercise - go to the weather app on your phone and use the future radar - it shows Hurricane Francine going to New Orleans.

The battle is brewing - the weather app and Fox News Fradella vs NHS and the weather channel on TV

That's how Bob Breck got fired, saying hurricane Isaac (8/29/12) was "COMING RIGHT FOR NEW ORLEANS!!!!" We never lost power in Metairie.


Hurricane Isaac did go right over New Orleans.

A majority of NOLA was out of power.

They've been running that High Resolution model which has it running actually south of NO.

Fradella says it's not the model the hurricane center has been running. I guess they do this to keep it interesting..

They also got Hannah Gard and she aint predicting that shite.



They're showing both as the forecast, which is just as bad. And don't blame Fradella or Gard, Bruce Katz is the chief meteorologist. It's his call to keep playing it.

As dumb as those stupid fricks are in New Orleans, it's better to scare em and be wrong, than it is to be accused of not warning them enough.
The collective IQ of that city hovers around 6

What in the revisionist history is this? He retired years later and still played a role bring called in as a “hurricane expert.”

Yes I know - it just seems that we have different paths depending on the source.

Katz said something about the model going over NOLA is from their weather vendor. Im guessing their weather vendor is TWC since TWC has been pimping this model also.
Katz has been the main guy pimping the NOLA model. He is always preaching doom n gloom.
I think these guys pimp tweeked models and enhanced radar to maintain or increase viewer numbers. Ive heard that online weather sites are taking away massive number of viewers (revenue) from TV stations.

I’m missing Alexandra Cranford. For my money, the best looking meteorologist (or, even reporter/newscaster) in the country.

ETA: Sorry, almost forgot the rules.

Was so jealous of Nash Roberts he'd literally say anything. It was so comical WWL-AM had segments about it back when.
