Why is it that weather forecasters always put their descriptions for the conditions required for a storm to become a hurricane in phrases like "favorable"?
Sometimes, when they are talking about their forecasts and they resort to these phrases, I picture them wringing their hands in goulish anticipation of the devastation to come.
Instead of saying "favorable conditions" they should say "threatening conditions." I certainly consider weather elements that make a hurricane more likely to develop more of a threat than a favor. I'm not looking to have my apartment re-distributed all over Central Florida, so I would not consider it a favor if a hurricane came and did that.
And that's all I have to say about that.
