@JaniceDean @NHC_Atlantic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We still have a hurricane threatening the east coast: that's the news story. We can worry about who thought what, including @POTUS , once the threat exits the coast. Rehashing old maps and forecasts takes oxygen away from the real story: #HurricaneDorian is still here.

Now an even stronger Geomagnetic Storm is due to impact Earth, prompting the issuance of a G3 STRONG Geomagnetic Storm Watch. Due to the threat on electronics, even the National Weather Service is delaying software/hardware updates until the storm passes.

Everyone is so tired. With hurricanes & other weather we cover, its usually a quick hit & recovery efforts can happen the next day or sooner. But here at #KilaueaEruption site, there is no end in sight. Geologists, rescue workers, & even reporters growing weary into week 6. 😞

When a weather story as catastrophic and as ongoing as #HurricaneFlorence is, reporters in the field must remember not to exaggerate or stage conditions as was done in prior events. You harm the credibility of journalism & meteorology & feed a #fakenews narrative when you do. 😔
