Miami Herald Calls Out The Hurricane Forecasters For Bad Predictions

Here's a perfect story from the Miami Herald, "Hurricane Predictions Miss The Mark," noting that all the hurricane experts have utterly blown it in their annual storm predictions at the beginning of each hurricane season.

The Washington Post regularly carries those forecasts--and we regularly scoff at them, helpfully alerting readers that these same storm seers have a worse record than than your typical Redskins, Wizards, Caps or Nats (i.e., pretty bad).


Perhaps WaPo would like to print the follow-up--kind of like a correction. A good headline would be "Oops. They Missed It. Again."
