Louisiana might get the double whammy.  That's not good for them even if these stay minor storms.

I was hoping Marco would track west and we'd get some rain out of it, but that looks unlikely now.

Kinda funny to me how this turned into some indication of how wild 2020 is, the two hurricane POSSIBILITY.

The media really pushes this stuff.

Sure.

But, it's still pretty unusual.  And if they both strengthen more than expected, and strike the same area, it would end up being VERY bad for that specific region.

I don't expect any kind of level headedness in the media these days.

what I dont understand is that there will be a point where the storms are very close to each other yet the have different forecast tracks

one is supposed to go kinda north after hitting land and the other is supposed to go west maybe even hitting parts of Houston

crazy

Being able to watch Indy 500 live in Indianapolis today will be weird.   Ill probably still listen to the radio broadcast.   Normally tape delayed here and of course w/ 300k+.  Some knothole type vantage points for a handful of spectators.  Outside the track.

"The media" is a mirror.  It's easy and fun to blame it, but it's solely providing what the masses want.  It's not about finding a source that provides truth, but which source provides confirmation bias.

I saw someone get shot today.  I stuck around to tell the police what I saw - that the shooting victim was the aggressor.

That’s not fun.  I witnessed a murder when I was 18 and it still haunts me.

I certainly agree with that.  I was interviewed twice by John King on CNN.  The first time I thought I got a reasonable shake, the second time, the edited version they showed was no reflective of what I said, but was what they expected me to say.

I also think they level of "journalism" out there today is at a nadir.  Anything I read I'm constantly questioning and wondering what they didn't show, what they edited, what they are trying to assert, and what might be true.

I observed some really bad things decades ago from Sixty Minutes, which I think is still around.  That sort of opened my eyes to how they start with a conclusion and then shape the story to fit said conclusion, every time.

Spencer Pigot lucky to be alive after that crash.  Disappointing couldn't end on green but Saito had balls once again.   Dixon a bit of big game Bob syndrome after winning 12 years ago.
