@StephenMStrader Who thought it was a good idea? The City Council and the developers who bought and paid these council members. I have said many times: Never expect a politician to understand a problem when a lot of money (and their re-election) depends on their not understanding the problem.

@ryanweather Fact check: Every word, with the possible exceptions of “in”, “of” and “an,” are purely fictional.

@ryanweather If it is part of the April forecast for the upcoming hurricane season, I think I will skip to the next article as there is historically little or no skill in the early forecast.

[Timothy Pappas @timothy_pappas]

@ryanweather Due to political bias, we now have to ask “what is the
incentive of the study?” and it is no wonder that confidence in both science
and journalism continues to erode.

[Timothy Pappas @timothy_pappas]

@ryanweather Science and journalism are similar in that they work
best when the hypothesis can be tested, reviewed and validated. A rush to
publish first should be the work of gossip columns.

I have said this before - don't expect politicians to understand a problem when a lot of money depends on them not understanding it.
Developments in disaster-prone areas means big bucks for builders, but leaves homeowners in some communities at risk

@iowastatepatrol Strange - this never happens in commercials for 4X4 vehicles where they show the driver smugly ignoring all rules of safe driving for icy conditions.

Maybe at one time, the Times represented journalistic integrity - the ability to report in a truthful, fair and independent manner. No more. The tweet demonstrates a lack of courage - are they afraid to tell the truth?

[Timothy Pappas @timothy_pappas]

The NYT has answered the question of who took aim at the towers. Now, can the same people at the NYT tell us WHY the airplanes took aim at the towers? #NeverForget

Reinsurance is more complicated than many investors think it is.

@ryanweather The author should be reminded of a basic rule of science: correlation does not equal causation.

[Timothy Pappas @timothy_pappas]

@StephenMStrader @nytimes Great point. The problem is money … money that developers give to politicians so that these politicians can "unknow" what they know. That development should not take place in these areas.

@philklotzbach I can't think of a greater forecast - considering how slim was the margin of error and how high the stakes were.

[Timothy Pappas @timothy_pappas]

@ryanweather Nor do we need the Weather Channel to fly people all over the country (then complain of climate change) for a hurricane. For traffic, we don't need a reporter standing in the middle of the interstate. Why do we need to see a reporter make a fool of himself in a storm for weather?

The time to prepare for a flood is before the water is in your kitchen. Make your preparations now. #flooding2019

The @NOAA #SpringOutlook 2019 was released today. Almost all of the eastern United States faces flooding risk and much of the country also faces increased chances of more precipitation than usual this spring. Find out more: https://t.co/j82S1HbQHJ
