Lets be more careful here .. The western atlantic ocean storm I have been HYPING
for 7 days! on my web site.
The fact the the god awful stupid weather channel and the NWS offices in the
northeast US missed its size, importance and locations is their problem.
But I did NOT miss this storm and have talking about on my web site ssince
before thanksgiving.
