No worries. I thought the same thing, when I heard her explaining it. She almost seemed a tad embarrassed by the term. :-) (Not the “OMG IT’S BOMBAGEDDON” Weather Channel nonsense.)
Sensationalism seems to be the goal in the media these days.
It’s really gotten out of hand.
My favorite example was El Nino / El Nina. Man, they discovered that phenomenon and for the next three years every weather report had to explain how these fit in.
It was very annoying.
Now they’ve finally moved on, but it took long enough.
Here’s something that has probably existed since this Earth configuration has existed, and yet because they just found it, it had to be something new and special.
