Yeah, but that's local media. They're the ones that should be reporting it. Fox/CNN et al are national media, yet the only weather stories that merit an "alert" are DC and NYC.
Eh, I've seen similar announcements for other big cities; LA, Chicago, Houston, etc.
And for the record, that was a NASTY storm. I haven't seen a storm like that in a while, and we just had a few weeks of nasty storms. We were under tornado watch, and for the first time since living out here, I actually took the watch seriously given the strength of the storm.
Nothing wrong with Fox News reporting this--it's their job to report breaking news stories, and to me, certainly, this was a breaking news story that impacted me directly, if only in the sense that I had to throw some towels down by my sliding glass door.
