[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A problem is that now everything now is THE WORST EVER. News media/Weather Channel hypes everything wall to wall, and if everything is the worst, than nothing is, and they won't be taken seriously. [/quote] This. Its crying wolf. [/quote] Right on cue, CWG with their “it’s not our fault, really” duck and cover: https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/08/08/dc-area-storm-damage-power-outages/[/quote] It's not their fault, though, the National Weather Service issued a ton of alarming warnings. You want to argue that the local weather journalists should ignore official government forecasts that say the conditions are riper than usual for a tornado, go ahead, but I bet you'd be pretty upset in the future if a line of storms comes through that does spawn tornadoes and the Post decided they better not write about it in case the storms aren't as bad as they could have been.[/quote]
