Hurricane warning for northern Gulf Coast as Nate to strike Saturday night; New Orleans at risk

5. So far, they do seem to be containing their rhetoric.

No one is exaggerating the strength of the storm or its speed. In fact, they keep insisting that it is most likely to be a Low End Cat. 1 storm. That will still bring wind, rain, beach erosion and risk of tornadoes. The only thing they are really stressing is the storm surge which could be significant for low lying areas, especially if it comes ashore at high tide.. They have new graphics on the Weather Channel to explain what the numbers mean in relation to your house so people have a visual of what an 8 foot storm surge means.

I am glad they are keeping us informed without overly dramatizing it. I live in Pensacola so the most stressful thing for us we’re on the “dirty side” of the storm—
