That Chinese hoax just keeps getting more and more elaborate.

Not sure if this is stating the obvious, but this is not a photo. Rather, it is a composite graphic generated from satellite images.
If you were just using 'photo' colloquially to mean 'image', sorry to be pedantic.

A not insignificant fraction of our population would seem to agree with you...

It's very cool. Yes, I hope the European model is wrong and that it moves further East. Either way it's a monster.

The Euro model is showing this thing raking most of the north coast of Cuba. That might be pretty bad, hopefully not.

i appreciate the discussion, timing/tact not withstanding
I wasn't aware some pundits are advising folks to not trust forecasts, which would thus delay prep/leaving= increased risk to life and limb. That is terrible. Like it or not, the preparedness for these things does depend on politics, since the budgets for preparedness at the local, state, and federal level are all dependent on politics, and if disregard for science and climate change is part of the politics, then it certainly affects what we all hope for, which is that everything possible is done to ensure the health and safety of those in harm's way.

really hope all is better than expected
I know that you were likely being tongue-in-cheek, but i went for a run when isabelle hit the DC area many years ago--just a big storm by then but a very large branch came down 15 feet from me--and i headed back home, was foolish to even go out, but i was training for something and thought that was important. Stay safe all.
