The Cone of Fay

Woohoo!

My story is the lede item on the Drudge Report.

I may earn my salary with this one.

So how does your paper make money by having people go to your web site? Theoretically, being linked to on the front page of a popular site like Drudge will result in more people who are not in Florida reading your paper's site, and thus using resources and bandwidth while lowering your ad click revenue since out of towners don't need the things your local advertisers offer. As a result, you are actually costing the newspaper money by being linked to by Drudge. Your pay will be docked appropriately.

At least, that's what your boss might say.

So now the sotrm, which never did reach hurricane strength, is going to move over the state, into the Atlantic, and back over the northern part of the state, where I expect it will fizzle out.

This has been a test. In the event of an actual emergency....

POLICY CHANGE ALERT:

From now on, I will no longer be naming these threads "The Cone of..."

Why? Because in my view, the cone should never shift. It should be REALLY broad, and then it should get more narrow. But it should never move. Every place the storm is hitting right now was originally outside the cone.

Am I being nitpicky? Of course. This is amateur fun, not meteorology.

So, from now on, these threads will be named "The WAG of..."

Just FYI.
