[quote=Anonymous]The irony is that improved weather forecasting a actually saves money. Hurricane Dorian would have cost Florida a fortune due to evacuations and lost productivity if it wasn't for advancements in modeling that indicated the storm would not hit Miami as a major hurricane as everyone initially feared. Unfortunately, it instead sat over the Bahamas and devastated that country for days--but Florida was lucky in that case. The loss of NOAA staff will result in higher insurance costs over time due to reduced progress in forecasting accuracy.[/quote]
