It is a lot easier to pretend you didn't know things were going to be bad than it is to take precautions for the possibility. If you prepare ahead and nothing happens, people get angry; if you don't, you can use the disaster to make yourself look like a triumphant hero (not that I think that ploy is really working, here). It's typical - and sick.

What I want to know is why we have the stupid rainbow of "alertness" that gets jogged around, and "higher security" is put in place for advanced warning, but an act of nature (which is entirely unpredictable) gets zilch. Please, explain the logic of that to me, because I don't get it.
