A while back we had to attend a Sunday function. The weather persons were predicting storms, strong winds and torrential rains over and over on the local stations. We decided to wait before leaving, after hearing them repeatedly predict the grim forcast we cancelled. 15 minutes later the sun was out and no more rain.
Weather forcasters must be heavily involved in the search for the missing jet liner...
