A great example of horrible journalism from aol/huffpost. In reality we have a relatively week tropical storm with 50mph winds which is located halfway between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Of all the model runs, only one has it impacting the U.S. in 220 hours, three models have the storm weakening in the Caribbean Sea, and the other models have the Storm re-curving into the north Atlantic. As for intensity, most models agree on Danny becoming a hurricane in 48 hrs, from that point out there is divergence in the intensity forecast. The UKMET and Canadian Ships model have Danny reaching 105knts by Sunday, the European Global Model keeps the storm relatively south and eventually getting impeded by strong UL shear, and dry Saharan air. The headline out to read, First Tropical Storm of August, may strengthen into a Hurricane and threaten the Lesser Antilles.

Honestly I hope it hits my area - we need the rain in a bad way...

We're watching it here at work.....no one is overly worried about it.

Uhhh, yeah. Did you expect something else? :angel: :old:

Not even a link to the supposedly bad Huffpost article. I guess that's what I get for expecting a modicum of journalism on the Aces High forums.

It was just a headline. Now it seems as though ole Danny boy will dissipate in 4 to 5 days. Crabby, dont know what part of Florida your from, I am from the Tampa bay area, and all its done for the last 2 weeks is rain.

Journalism and huff/post are contradictory terms. Then again from what I see, there is an extreme shortage of anything resembling responsible journalism anymore.

That said, I did a search on the Aol site for the headline in question. All I found was a Washington Post that re-stated the OP's position. If it was on AOL then it was likely redacted. So far as I can tell, the same headline didn't appear in Huffington Post, so even though AOL owns them, this isn't on them. It's on whoever writes AOL News' weather articles. I would say that like Hurricane Danny itself, this redacted headline is weak tea compared to the daily dose of BS available from almost any news outlet these days.
