Knocking on wood pretty benign for me, though it did foil our plans to go to the beach this weekend. September is the best beach month…
I am not questioning the naming of this particular storm. This one was legitimately named. There are others that should never been named. Again, not my words, a veteran TV meteorologist in SE TX said that.To the best of my knowledge, tropical storms typically are given names, and this was at the high end of tropical storm readings
seems to me they give a storm a name if that storm reaches TS status... even if it just attains that status for a short period of time it doesn't lose the name even if it doesn't amount to squat when it comes to hazards to human and property or by the time it finds its way to your area.I am not questioning the naming of this particular storm.

I didnt see anything in the NHC that threatened the Jersey coast... unless it was your local media which I can only assume and maybe why you should only pay attention to the official NOAA site.This storm forecast so far ,has been a complete bust. As stated I live 22 miles from the Jersey coast. Nothing more than a rainy day. I’m not complaining . But so far..nothing.
Media has a habit over over hyping everything....they want you to keep watching....I didnt see anything in the NHC that threatened the Jersey coast... unless it was your local media which I can only assume and maybe why you should only pay attention to the official NOAA site.
Even the chart I posted yesterday on Page 3 shows the tropical storm is no longer a storm once is comes within a couple hundred plus miles of New Jersey. .
Where about in NC?my bad 4.75 inches

Exactly, it draws people in, keeps them coming back, others it keeps tuned in = ratings = more advertising revenue.Media has a habit over over hyping everything....they want you to keep watching....

Death and destruction is what people want to see and this is what they deliver to make money.

Absolutely. Main stream NYC metro weather forecasters made it seem like land fall was gonna be in Times Square, instead of unfortunate North Carolina. The storm weakened considerably once it made its way into New Jersey resulting in a rainy day, nothing more. I know forecasting weather is not an exact science but I’m convinced that sensationalism finds its way into the equation.I didnt see anything in the NHC that threatened the Jersey coast... unless it was your local media which I can only assume and maybe why you should only pay attention to the official NOAA site.
