Just turned to the Weather Channel to see the update on Hurricane Ian. Can anyone explain to me why they insist on putting reporters out in the elements to report? Do they think we don't believe them if we don't have a person getting hammered by the wind and rain? Have never understood the reason for this.

It's more entertaining and it helps to demonstrate the severity of the storm.

The possibility of one of them getting nailed with something and hilarity ensuing keeps the views up.

Why isn't naming for all hurricanes restricted to Wendy, Gale or Gust?

You're talking about the Weather Channel to strangers because of it...that's why it's done.

The sick side of me is always hoping to witness what flying sheet metal can do to a man's neck in 110 mph winds.

Why doesn't the weather channel recruit on-air persons exclusively from H-Tine?

Nope. My sick mind only extends to adult humans who have made the decision to go and stand outside in hurricane conditions.

I feel guilty because I secretly hope Ian hits 158 so it can claim Category 5 status. I'm I alone, or just sick? As soon as it hits 158 I want it to immediately decrease drastically.

Fox Weather is free, its on Roku live, Tubi and you can watch live at foxweather.com.
They have good coverage, and the website is very comprehensive.

I agree its somewhat ridiculous.

I have always liked Stephanie Abrams, but seeing her during the hurricane coverage showed how much makeup she uses in the studio.

Doesn't compare to Charlie. We had 20x more debris in 2004. 8' to 10' high x 8' deep x 60' wide (lot is 75' wide)

There are no roof tarps and didn't lose power in S.Orlando. Charlie had 105mph sustained winds and it was the only time I've ever heard the 'freight train' sound associated with a tornado. This was much easier.

My guess is that OP saw all of the social media chatter about this and decided to rebrand it as his own original thought by claiming he happened to check out TWC and had this epiphany…
