"8 of the Most Dangerous Places (To Live) on the Planet"
I am honored they used HC for this info but the rankings are for tropical storms and hurricanes not just hurricanes. The Cayman Islands are the most affected but it is for both TS & Hurricanes.I have also seen this same type story in insurance website articles on hurricanes. I wrote the editor to tell him to change it to include both but something tells me they wont change it as they need the shock value. I know many of the regulars to HC know what the ranking system means
http://www.hurricanecity.com/Rank.htm and it clearly states that I would like to proof read it first and that it is not just for hurricanes only. Anyways if any of you see any of these type of stories either let me know or email the editor to correct that person. I dont want to get jumped on by the science community for spreading false information. |
