Predicting the weather has come a long way in just the last century. Today’s meteorologist no longer looks into his crystal ball. He has far more sophisticated tools available to him, from satellite images to Doppler radar. He can make a fairly accurate prediction for the weather up to a week in advance, and yet, with all of this early warning, the coast still sustains a lot of damage whenever a hurricane comes through because there is simply no time to fully prepare. A meteorologist can only make a guess, and a guess can always be wrong.
