Yes, my fav part or the US government yet again, lets down it’s customers.

Reading their assessment of things just hours before this became an actual Hurricane, it was “no big deal”. At 10 AM CST, everything seemed pretty mild.
On the 12th at 5PM, it was expected to “linger near the coast” and not really strengthen. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/al09/al092007.discus.002.shtml?
Later in the day (11PM), they realize they have screwed up and predict this will be bad. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/al09/al092007.discus.003.shtml? At 1AM on the 13th, they realize this is a Hurricane!

You can read all of the rest here ; http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/HUMBERTO.shtml? Humberto (and where the hell did that name come from?? Amigo) slams into Louisiana with little warning, because last night they heard it would “linger near the coast”. They wake up to a full Hurricane! Screwed.
What are we paying these guys for? They continue to fail miserably, because of one simple factor, YOU CAN NOT PREDICT WEATHER. Anywhere or anytime. It is a waste of money. We need a Hurricane “monitor center”, which would suite us all much better than this joke of an organization.
