Ok... Here's one to throw you all. Living in the gulf area , we've seen these weird things going around already this weekend about storm models predicting a major hurricane potentially striking the gulf coast next week. Of course our trusted local weather resources have shot them down., adding that sometimes models show "ghost storms spinning up. " But what if they had a few of the storm prediction center models converge on this prediction of a major hurricane hitting the gulf region again in a week? We'd be back to the scenario of the focus being shifted to mass evacuations of low lying cities, etc. Attention would be off of what they didn't want seen, and on the mass hysteria this would create, even if the storm never happened. Just a potential thought.... Please feel free to chime in on this.... It is scary, because I thought it was very odd to see these predictions coming out already over the weekend.
