LOTS of Non-Floridians moved here over the past few years. They are new to the Hurricane fear mongering handed out by the weather channels. Might take them a few years to become callused to the "Cone of death and destruction that no one will escape!!"
It’s the same here in tornado alley, I’ve noticed recently, If it’s a super cell thunderstorm during prime time hours on a weekday, The news will interrupt regular programming every 5 minutes with 17 different “state of the art” tracking radars, 3 on the ground storm chasers and 2 meteorologist tag teaming across the newsroom, telling us about every raindrop and wind shift for the duration of the storm. If it’s midday on the weekend, you’ll be lucky if the weather alert banner even scrolls across the screen even if its the exact same caliber storm. And many many times if it was an obvious tornado but the news didn’t warn you about it, theyll send out the “expert” to assess the damage and determine it was “not a tornado” it was just very strong down burst winds , that blew your farm apart. Ill admit though I really enjoy the sensationalism of a weekday supercell, and it’s about the only tv news I’ll make a point to watch. I think it’s just because I’ve always found weather fascinating and to to watch how sensationalized it’s become in a mere decade is absolutely fascinating to me on a psychological level.

Must be a follow Okie. Can confirm his statement. If you know what, “I’ve got Val on the getner” is then you’re a true Okie.
Ha ha ha Texan here, I can spot a hook echo from a mile away.
