Funny? You sure have a fucked up (sorry Sluggo) sense of humor if you think a hurricane striking any area is "funny". My original contention still stands.
You arrogant poltroon! HAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Unfortunately the original projections I posted changed based on the latest data. Quite a difference from what the St Pete Times posted a week ago. They take the same approach to reporting hurricanes as 60 Minutes does to reporting on alleged memos...

It's all about greed. Yes, that's it, greed.
I wonder what has made you so fucking stupid reason? (Sorry Sluggo). Last week when the national hurricane center projected Jeanne to go up into the Atlantic and possibly make it to the Carolinas, the St Pete Times displayed a projection showing it coming right at Tampa Bay. If you are too dumb to see it for what it is that's your problem. You haven't morphed into Angi, you have become Eliza. Only less intelligent.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You presented two graphs. Both showed a very similar range of paths the hurricane would take, both showing most of Florida within that range. And since then, they have tended to mirror each other fairly closely. This is not disputable.Originally posted by G L:

Regardless, the little red line on which you are fixated has moved. Based on your line of "logic" or huge lack thereof, wherever that red line moves is due to advertiser greed, an incredibly idiotic assertion at best.

The St Pete Times chose to use a projection that brought it north-northwest and ended it right over Tampa.
The national hurricane center projected it, the same day, to move north northwest with likely landfall being the Georgia/Florida state line on the east coast. Tampa was only on the outermost western fringes of its path. That's about a 300 mile difference.
The point is that the St Pete Times elected to show the one model that would be most likely to induce people to feel threatened enough to go and buy more plywood, bottled water, batteries, etc. Something that makes St Pete Times advertisers a lot of money.
So in your shift to the left (based solely it seems on same sex marriage issues) you manage to still be an apologist for corporate greed.
Face it reason you are just confused. In more ways than one.
Funny that I have had this conversation with others who ALSO live in this area and they agree with me 100%. But you would know better living where you do and following the coverage moreso than we do here.
Fucking stupid ass. (sorry Sluggo)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, the national hurricane center did not project out as far as the Carolinas, and indeed show most of the state of Florida as a likely target.The national hurricane center projected it, the same day, to move north northwest with likely landfall being the Georgia/Florida state line on the east coast. That's about a 300 miles difference.
Regardless, your advertising theory is debunked because the red line has once again moved. That the St. Pete times uses an independent company used by 15,000 world wide shows this weird conspiracy side that's beyond explanation.
I've always thought trailer parks attract the bizarre.
Who said anything about the Carolinas? The projection I posted from teh national hurricane center showed Florida being in the western edge of the "cone" and the St Pete Times showed the EYE (for someone stupid like you who does not realize the red line represents the EYE and as such the most dangerous part of the hurricane) making a direct path for Tampa Bay. All this while the storm was still 2,000 miles away.
And you are proof that parts of Northside attract losers that wouldn't fit in anywhere else.*
