The mind of a certified genius

So here we have a little sneeze, Tropical Storm Fizzle - um, Fay.

Two days, no school for the kids.

Calling for an emergency before the storm is within 100 miles of Florida

Evacuations for moderate rain.

Why?

Because the people in power will be DARNED if they're going to have little Suzy Sunshine get hit by a flying branch on the way to the bus stop and the news vultures screaming, "Why wasn't school cancelled?"

Or someone who left their windows open crying their eyes out on the evening news, "Why wasn't I warned?  Everything is ruined!"

In general, Fox news casters have more class, but you know darn well that CBS news (especially) would be all over that, and no one with tax dollars to spend is going to let it happen.

I may sound cynical, but see if I'm wrong: this is going to be a VERY expensive, take-no-chances hurricane season.
