Leaves only one real explanation for Kiko's deviation - THEY have improved on the geo-engineering that Opihikaobob originally identified during Iselle. The state and county workers are probably in on it so they get to pocket that overtime from the impending storm, but then steer the storm away so they don't have to do any actual work. Crafty government employees - always one step ahead in their never-ending plot to fleece leilanidude! 
Damn right Ironyak!
The State and County union workers got that slipped into the last union contract negotiation. No one paid attention! The union is very powerful - and the union's ability of steering hurricanes away AFTER they get the Governor and Mayors to declare that emergency to fatten their paychecks while they sit and do nothing is just the tip of the iceberg of their never-ending power!
Seriously however, I can also imagine the "Dude" being the FIRST person bitching and complaining IF the State and Counties DID NOT prepare for any impending storm that does hit us and causes significant damage. But then again, this ain't Texas! Waiting a week or so for emergency help has recently become second nature there!
