Weather prediction is still part science and part luck. However, in real life, we want to be as accurate as we can. <em>jhay's last blog post..<a href='http://jrocas.com.ph/archives/joey-ayala-performs-at-up-diliman/' rel="nofollow">Joey Ayala performs at UP Diliman</a></em> I agree with Tess.

While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerpt Last Tuesday’s earthquake had shown that the emergency evacuation measures we have are inadequate. Heck, our reaction (or should I say, inaction) was even nonchalant, as if nothing happened. This is a terrible character flaw on our part; when we act, it is almost too late. It is a damned-if-you-do situation: you do preemptive action, and when nothing happens, you get blamed. When you do nothing and disaster happens, you get blamed. The entry of typhoons Lando and Mina are instructive. Lando ma [...] [...] Check it out!

When Mina steered away from Bicol, PAGASA was blamed for faulty prediction." --- What people should understand is predicting the weather will not be 100% accurate. Despite the sophisticated technology we already have now that we use for different weather measurements, these are still not sophisticated enough to make predictions correct 100% because even slight changes in these measurements can already create a different weather turnout. People should just be glad that the typhooon did not pass by their place. “The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) predicted that Mina may pass by Bicol, so emergency evacs were made.
