Rain, rain on the way?
One of the many things that annoys me about the modern media is the overkill on weather. Ugh, I can't take that and this week looks like it is going to be a bad one. Seven days out, "forecasters" are predicting a massive hurricane is going to hit South Carolina. Maybe. The maybe is the big thing. It should be the big thing.
It isn't, though, to local news folks. I woke up this morning to the panicky reports of rain and wind about to descend on South Carolina shores like a mongol horde sweeping across the plains. The predictions are absolute armageddon is on hand and Bruce Willis isn't here to save us this time. It is like Dolemite's fists of fury will pound our coastline into oblivion. Supermarkets are out of bread and milk. Bottle your water. Take your money out of banks. Turn your underwear inside out.
Remain calm! Never. This is no time for calm. Doom is at the door.
But it isn't. Yes, hurricanes are brutal when they hit in full force, but the reality is we never really know until about 24 hours before how bad it will be. Right now, we are living off predictions of rain, rain on the way. It likely won't.
