Doesn't that just crack you up? It's only been within the last few years that the forecasters have started using this term regarding hurricanes.
We have Gustav heading into the Gulf of Mexico with Hanna on his heels.
Here we have the local NBC weatherman, Anthony Yanez, showing us the cone. All the yellow area is the Cone Of Uncertainty.
So, what they're saying is no one is certain WHERE in the cone Gustav will go, but if you're in it, you might want to get ready to get going.
I know the hurricane situation is NOT funny - especially to all those who endured Katrina almost 3 years ago to the date, but the term, cone of uncertainty, sounds like it came out of an episode of Get Smart or Wonder Woman.
Heck, just Google the term and look at what you get. Maybe I am IN a cone of uncertainty and just don't know it???
