It’s Not Real Unless New York Is Somehow Involved 0

The curmudgeon columnist in our local rag gets one right:

A major hurricane was buzzsawing toward the East Coast, predicted to come ashore somewhere along the North Carolina coast (early hysterical reports had this as a Cat 4 storm) and where does our hero (Jim Cantore, Weather Channel person–ed.) head?

First he went to Rhode Island. Later, he inched closer to the action in Battery Park.

(snip)

Yep, the biggest storm in years was aiming right at us and we were nothing but a postscript.

Until I read her column, I’d never heard of Jim Cantore. I find the Weather Channel even more boring that Lifetime.

It’s like the old weather broadcasts from the early days of cable, in which a camera kept panning automatically from a thermometer to a barometer to a anemometer, only with more talk noise and less information.

Afterthought:

My brother recommends Stormpulse if you want to track tropical storms with minimal hype and maximal data.
