I'm sorry, perhaps we've been reading different things. nossy Send a noteboard - 12/09/2017 04:33:21 PM

View original postthe problem with worst-case scenario predictions is that sooner or later people stop listening. How about realistic warnings rather than everything being Stormageddon?

If something could be Stormageddon, I want to know the expected ranges of behavior. I don't want to know only the minimums, so the person telling me doesn't risk feeling stupid or hysterical afterwards. Then it's my right to act as thoroughly (or not) as I can.

It seems like an equal problem - either not telling me the possible full risk OR only telling me that, both to somehow protect your job.
