Public Expectations on Environmental Events

People currently seem to think that Super Typhoon Dolphin will hit China and Japan. Expectations appear to be leaning towards a yes on both fronts. However, the mood shifts when it comes to the typhoon's strength, with a clear favor towards no for making landfall at a stated benchmark strength or higher.

In the Atlantic, the forecast for named storms is a topic of discussion, with a leaning towards yes for CSU forecasting a stated benchmark or more named storms. On the other hand, the expectation for a stated benchmark or fewer named storms is clearly in the no camp.

When it comes to earthquakes, people seem to think that there will be more than a stated benchmark earthquakes of magnitude a stated benchmark or higher worldwide from August a stated benchmark to August a stated benchmark. The expectation for exactly a stated benchmark earthquakes is clearly in the no camp.

The mood is also overwhelmingly in favor of yes when it comes to the highest recorded wind on Mt. Washington in July being at least a stated benchmark mph. Finally, the expectation for a natural disaster in a stated benchmark is clearly in the no camp.
