    I am not disputing the moments before and during. There is no doubt the events going on were a powder keg of problems waiting to tip off. However my comment was about how that actu…

    That story is a perfect example of perception of a situation and how people view it in many ways. While you say the narrative is wrong, many feel the narrative was right.

    Tropical Tidbits is a more US focused site with an emphasis on tropical storm season (hence the name) but they keep the models running & updating all year.

    Something I'm genuinely curious about and not trying to downplay success here, but is Product Hunt really a metric of achievement now?
