I thought I was the only one that felt this way.

Seems like every storm is going to be the storm of the century and will hit land as a category 5 . 10 to 15 foot surges. Thousands of people leaving their homes do to mandatory evacuations or because they are scared due to all of the news hype.

With all the sophisticated satellites, weather planes, and storm situation rooms that can still not predict better

Is all about TV ratings and sensationalism?

If they keep calling wolf some day a real storm is going to hit and people are not going to believe them

Wish I could find it on You Tube but there was one clip where a reporter being rowed in a boats but when he passes another reporter he is in water below his knees

Yes the over hype gets old real quick. But the ratings mean the company that owns the channel need to have people watching .How many have ever heard of the Great Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940 ? A major blizzard hit the upper mid west that day and over 50 duck hunters died in the marshes that day while duck hunting .They had no way of knowing what was coming and it cost them their lives . Research it there are some amazing stories about some that survived and others that did not.
