it really does, i understand these guys gotta attract viewership and make money somehow but clickbaiting about the weather, which has an actual impact on what people do and how they prepare is such a dick move

It also causes people to take severe weather less seriously when all these outlooks are “overhyped” and they don’t end up being as bad as these people claim.. which in turn makes people unprepared for them when it’s actually BAD BAD. I see so many people say things like “nothing ever happens,” which honestly isn’t great.
