The media do hype storms with wild worst-case scenarios, for their own financial gain. At present, this storm looks bad according to the models. The media hype is off the charts. Does this serve a good purpose, or a bad one?
It’s good if the storm actually turns out as bad as they’re saying, since it encourages more to take the matter seriously and evacuate. But, if it’s not as bad as they’re saying, people get jaded and dismissive, and won’t take future warnings and evacuation orders seriously.
It’s a mixed bag and we won’t know until we know.
I am watching the Weather Channel. I do not see hype, I see a presentation of what the NHC is forecasting. You are just so jaded that you believe otherwise. And given that you were wrong about so much factual info, such as the latest GFS plots and the potential danger to the Carolinas, you just simply are not credible.
