I was frankly amazed that some people were frightened and worriedly called the BBC. Was that just a bit of journalistic licence or are people really that unwise these days? It was so obviously an error...
On the radio there was also an interview with a law enforcement officer in the Florida area this morning, when asked about the people who were refusing to evacuate, they simply said "They're some of the dumbest 10% of people in the world"
Yep..... people really can be astonishingly 'unwise' 8-[

I suppose people might have been worried that there was a germ of truth in the figures and that they should expect strong winds of some kind.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
