The Contrarian

[extelecom]

AH, "I can't help but wonder if there isn't a contrarian element in this drama. If you are a forecaster, what scenario guarantees you the most interest in your forecast?"
I see you have come to the revelation that this "excitement" is what drives a lot of this. I notice the local Dallas TV stations all have some form of "storm chasing" vehicles now. I guess they will be happy if they are the 1st. to get blown away. With recent storms they were going berserk with continuous on the spot coverage... Must have been a slow news day, well slow for anything titillating. All of the news and weather has gotten like this and it is sad. IT is all about viewership now.
