During hurricanes, I like how the different stations compete for the worse possible outcome.

ha,here in California,the weather kooks predicted 5 daze of sunny weather,It has rained 3 of the 5 so far.So be it!!!

Ah, but they do it because it fills the time slot, holds the audiences, and helps them sell soap (or whatever product pays for the advertising time-slot).

Last week the doomdayers were predicting horrible ice, schools closed early on Friday, weekend classes canceled, church services canceled on Sunday, they even rescheduled a NFL playoff game, and the trucks were out dumping down sand and salt. I think we got ten minutes of a light mist with little or no ice.
