Hugh Cobb, Chief of the Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, told Popular Science that he was aware of Drudge’s comments and that while he would not comment directly on them, he reacted with a groan. Cobb emphasized that all of NOAA’s data is collected straight from the storm using reconnaissance aircraft. Aircraft have no political agenda.

But the people who are gathering the raw data from the feeds do have political agendas...

With Matthew, when is it time to talk climate change?

(yes, that's NONE under Obama, and, so far, Matthew is holding to that - it's offshore still)

Well there is an inconvenient truth.... LOL

Drudge’s contradictory message was not only infuriating to meteorologists who knew the dangerous storm was holding its own, but it may also have put people’s lives at risk.

For Florida residents who were perhaps on the fence about whether to evacuate at the last minute, the words on that website may have introduced enough doubt to lead them into a decision they will regret.

To make matters worse, Drudge took to Twitter and accused the government of purposefully inflating Matthew’s intensity to send a message about climate change.

“The deplorables are starting to wonder if govt has been lying to them about Hurricane Matthew intensity to make exaggerated point on climate,” Matt Drudge, who runs the Drudge Report, tweeted.

We can't even endure a hurricane without politics getting in the way. I'm really hoping this whole political climate blows apart so we can go back to living a simple, more satisfying life

Get rid of an overbearing centrally controlled government and go back to having 50 nation states with Washington having no jurisdiction other than to be a referee in disputes and you'll see a lot less politics.

Works for me. When do we start?

As soon as the centrally managed one collapses from its own largesse and debt. :-)

Well, I know there are many Americans that wouldn't mind helping out in that exercise to help speed the process along.

Drudge Report’s playing down and politicizing of Hurricane Matthew was ‘deplorable’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2016/10/06/drudge-report-posts-infuriating-and-flawed-comments-on-hurricane-matthew/

Late Thursday afternoon, monstrous Hurricane Matthew was just hours away from a likely devastating impact with Florida. It was a time when meteorologists, emergency managers and politicians of all persuasions were joining to deliver a simple, clear message in the spirit of keeping people safe: Take this storm seriously, and prepare.

[Hurricane Matthew remains a dangerous and destructive category 4 storm as it nears the Florida coast]

Yet the popular Drudge Report website, visited by a massive audience, including vulnerable Floridians, was casting doubt on the severity of the Category 4 storm. In big, bold all-capital letters, it said the storm was “ragged” and suggested it could be fizzling. It made this proclamation at the same time the National Hurricane Center was calling for “potentially disastrous impacts” in Florida.

looks like God is attacking jekyll island

Glynn County authorities Thursday spoke in almost apocalyptic terms of the chances for devastation on St. Simons and Jekyll Islands.

A statement from county officials said Matthew could turn into a 500-year event with 9-foot storm surges carrying 25-foot waves.

“Under the current forecast,” Glynn officials said in a prepared statement, “total devastation of the barrier islands is possible and portions of F.J. Torras Causeway and Jekyll Island Causeway may be completely lost.
