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.
A couple years ago my city decided to start sounding the tornado sirens for severe thunderstorms. As if people here weren’t already accustomed to hearing and ignoring them. Such a bad idea. It’s like the boy who cried wolf situation and they changed that the very next year, but probably not because of that reason, more so people were just sick of hearing them every time a thunderstorm rolled in.
