And they tell you technology is the solution to all our problems and that we have gadgets that can provide us with the answers we need. Which is partially truth if you remember there are fallible (and/or stupid) people creating thise devices Case in point:
It is good to know that going into the coastal waters of Hialeah might be a dangerous thing to do and you might be carried away by the ocean to points unknown and drown.
Except one little detail: Hialeah is landlocked.
The closest Hialeah is to coastal waters, (and that is Biscayne Bay, not open ocean) is four and a half miles. Maybe the riptide is that strong or maybe we are seeing a case of “IDGAF it is all Miami anyway” or GIGO.
Like the Great Communicator once said “Trust, but verify.”
Technology is ALWAYS the solution!!!
(… ah, what was the problem again?)
In this case it isn’t technology that is the problem, it’s government. The NWS does those sorts of warnings by zone. Since your local weather office is NWS Miami, you get stuck with their weather statements.
