Shep is talking about the fact that people don't believe the media on storms anymore because it's all hype.

Those ppl are all potential Darwin Award winners, IMO.

Well, 9 times out of 10, it is media hype.

How many of the deaths from this one will be attributible to past hype for ratings sake?

Probably a good percentage.

Every hurricane everywhere is always going to do "major damage".

Maybe trying a little accurate reporting would mean people would listen to you when it was real.

Why is Shep continuing to interview Sam?

For comic relief?

It could be somewhat funny if it weren't so sickeningly serious.
