I followed Denis Phillips’ forecasts and he was by far more reliable and never indulged in hype like that, contrary to a lot of others. You can caution and prepare people without resorting to hysterical hyperbole.

There's a video online (can't remember where I saw it) of a meteorologist) discussing the oncoming hurricane. He actually broke down in tears as he was discussing the strength of it, it was just so horrible. Talk about cringe.
I don't know about you, but I don't take people seriously who can't hold themselves together under stress. Not everyone is rock I get that, but not everyone should be in a position of authority or information dissemination. If you can't keep from crying when doing your job, then get a different job. People need accurate information without hyperbole, not some blubbering fool emoting on TV.
At some point it becomes clear that these people aren't just fools, but this is all coordinated to manipulate us. The hyperbole is intentional and designed to create fear within the population, as fearful people are easy to control.
Then do the country a favor and take the day off. Jeff C is correct, there’s a time and place for emotional display, and news during hurricanes needs to be disseminated factually without “excessive” emotion. Maybe other stories can handle that kind of display, but not disaster reporting during the disaster. Facts. Quick. Clear. Direction. Strength. Courage. Calm. Hope. Period.
Sorry I really don’t mean this to sound as harsh as it is coming out. 🤣 I have no beef with you personally. I’m just responding to the argument.
I hope that comment was meant to be sarcastic. If not, your attitude is exactly the problem. We all have our troubles but some of us somehow manage to keep it together.
Edit: Adding to this that making excuses for people's failings is leading to the death of professionalism. There's a time and a place, this was neither. That's why professionals recuse themselves from tasks when they believe they have an emotional conflict and cannot be objective.
So many examples of manipulating through fear: "take the vaxx or you'll die and kill Grandma too," "vote for Trump because is a threat to democracy." The list is endless and once you see it you can't unsee it. This technique used to be used primarily within cults. Now it's foisted on the general low information public.
I especially like that Denis Phillips gives a list of things to do to prepare for a hurricane, this is actually helpful and useful, in contrast to all of the “sky is falling, everyone panic” people.
She’s a Democrat 🤷♀️

You don’t know all he is going through… it could be a lot more than a hurricane. Perhaps family member on death bed and he can’t get to them.

Same. Also, Mike! He does live coverage. No hype!
Yes I’ve heard good things about him too 🙂
