As noted in the Sunday Morning Update to yesterday’s post, immediately below, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center was in the embarrassing and baffling position of having contradictory information about Hurricane Flossie on its website early today.
Advisory #16 had Flossie moving west while the map on the Flossie information page showed the storm moving much further north than due west. This west-northwesterly path on the map shows nearly the entire state within the hurricane’s “Potential Day 1-3 Track Area.”
Advisory #17 issued at 11 a.m. HST today eliminates the discrepancy: FLOSSIE IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 14 MPH AND THIS MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
CHORE wonders why Advisory #16 was so obviously out of synch with the map on the CPHC’s Flossie page. Surely the Center has a zero tolerance policy about publishing anomalous information like this.
Stay alert, citizens. Ours is not a zero-defect world.
