Don't worry it's just going to be a small tropical storm

Last week my local news said don't worry this is hurricane "Hype", don't listen to those foreign models.

Once this hits the gulf, it's going to turn into a monster, the only good thing is it will be moving really fast.

Still looking like it's heading towards my area, however the lack of predictive models and the speed this will move at puts a lot of people at risk…
