Florida Weatherman Warns: Hurricane Predictions Compromised by Budget Cuts

Concerns grow over accuracy of hurricane predictions in Florida. A veteran Florida weatherman has voiced serious concerns about the ability to accurately predict hurricanes in the coming years. He directly links this to significant budget cuts, impacting the nation's scientific capabilities. "I am not sure I can do that this year," he stated on camera, referring to his long-standing ability to provide accurate forecasts. He attributes these cuts to the Trump administration's policies, arguing that they represent a "sledgehammer attack on science." The statement highlights a broader concern about the potential consequences of underfunding crucial scientific programs. The impact on hurricane prediction is just one example of the wider implications of these cuts, raising questions about the nation's preparedness for future natural disasters.
