    It would seem the hurricane that devastated New Orleans was predicted very well indeed. This provides EVIDENCE that... meteorology is a fairly accurate science.

    Yeah, scientists are the only ones able to make accurate predictions...

    Yes, that's part of the prediction that was thankfully averted. It's still pretty bad, but for all the criticism, it is pretty clear that in that case the prophecy was self defeating.
