I am so happy we have the National Weather Service (weather.gov) and don't have to get our weather reports from the Three Stooges channel known as The Weather Channel. All weekend about anywhere you would look for information on what was happening in Florida you had to endure meaningless map technology and "meteorologists" standing waist high in water obviously disappointed because they couldn't spot any roofs blowing away... and repeating 'this is the biggest weather event in history... it looks bad... very bad... and it will soon be a catastrophe of catastrophic proportions! Back to you Al..." This line of 'weather reporting' was especially humorous and moronic given there were people in the background at times with cameras on selfie sticks capturing the adjective filled "dire, life-threatening, dangerous, worst storm ever" background. This is what happens when you let the private sector (Weather Channel) have access to NOAA. I for one am happy we don't have to rely on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC the (gag) Weather Channel) etc etc for professionally presented weather information. No wonder I almost never watch TV.
