We got pounded last night again, and Weather Channel was present to document 'live'.
I really have mixed feelings about these guys, and the way they present their findings
On one hand, people can see first hand the destructiveness of tornadoes, and the seriousness of seeking shelter.
On the other hand, there are waaaay too many 'wannabees' looking to be the next youtube phenom.
last summer, a 'team' from WC was killed. Oh, It was such a 'tragedy', they played that out for a week! Duh, I was taught as a baby to seek shelter!
Last night, Stanton, Ne. and Pilger Ne. were hit and it looks bad... and sure enough, on the Weather Channel's scrolling bar across the bottom of the tv screen, said:
"Cows on highway, wouldn't allow storm chasers to pass".
........aw, too bad....
These are feedlot heavy areas, I can't imagine the mayhem of thousands and thousands of loose cattle, and the loss of life and property is going to be high on this one.
They've 'romanticized, glorified, spectacled natural disasters' soo much have they taken the 'fear factor' out of the seriousness??
Not to mention the gawkers that may impede the rescue crews trying to get out and help!
