The Weather Channel is the worst about this kind of stuff. Local stations can be better, but it does seem that a large portion of the weather reporting industry are idiots. When they roll up their pants to stand in the water to blather is just damn odd. The ridiculous factor of it all probably keeps some from evacuating that should be.

My experience in the Chi-town region is that the modern weather forecasting system, with umpteen computer models that each have significantly different results, is not much better than the old 1960's version with no computer models and what we always assumed was the weatherman using a dart board to make predictions. As for the reporting of actual weather, it's now become just one more fake drama reality show. Having reporters wander around on highways to send back live feeds in heavy rains, snows, ice storms, tornado's, etc. does nothing but add more idiots out on the roads doing what they tell others not to do. Same goes for the rocket scientists who stand outside in the flood waters with the wind trying to blow them off the planet, all while telling the viewers to evacuate and don't go outdoors.
I've found that going by the local weather forecasts to plan outdoor activities is less than effective over half the time. I'm better off just ignoring the forecasts and winging it.

I was watching that same guy during lunch on Thursday doing the same exact thing. He’d take two normal steps and then stop, lean hard into the wind and rock back and forth like he couldn’t move forward another step. 😂

Hurricanes and their aftermath are definitely big, big news . . . but what I hate is any time there is a thunderstorm system within 100 miles all the local stations go full time to weather with mindless chatter and very little useful information for hours on end. I don't even bother to look. I have a couple weather apps on my iPhone that do seem to have good up to the minute local information - Weather Bug and Dark Sky. If I really need to know those are the ones I check. :2vrolijk_21:
