I see TWC is overdramatizing Isaac right on cue with that Threat Index. The threat index itself isn't the problem for me, it seems similar to what they used for Irene last year. It's the words they're using for each color code like "AWARE", "ALERT" that are grinding my gears. Obviously all the Caribbean/FL/Gulf Coast needs to be
AWARE and
ALERT to take
ACTION for
EXTREME conditions.
What happened to using traditional wordings like
low, moderate, high instead of words that basically mean the same thing regardless of color coding.
Great, now they've gone off and sent me into a rant, thanks a lot TWC.
On a more positive note, anyone want to take a guess at when they'll go all STORM ALERT MODE (in theory I mean). I'm guessing Sat/Sun and just like with Irene I expect limited to no LFs once Isaac makes landfall wherever that turns out to be. Oh and let's not forget TWCSocial will be on full blast so make sure to tweet to
