I hate to say it but I get the impression that weather personalities LOVE to hype this stuff beyond the actual level of damage or danger.

It's how they can control the attention they get in the media.

Right, I know it's pathetic... but how many times in your memory have they predicted disastrous events that in the end, don't reach the level of danger they predict?

Because of Katrina, they now think that they have cart blanche to hype the weather to their hearts content

Of course they hype these storms. When else do people watch The Weather Channel for more than the 10 minutes to get your local on the 8’s. Their ratings are based on getting you to watch. Stick with us for breaking news, etc. It is no different than when broadcasters tease a story and then go to commercial. Don’t change that dial.

It is even worse around here in New England in the winter. Every year it is like we have never had snow before. Then everybody goes to the grocery store and buys milk and bread.
I like to wait until the snow starts and then go the store. It is empty.

they saw the political damage that Katrina did to Bush...and how Bush cowered and “apoligized”, like it was his fault...they think they can attack Trump the same way.
