    please explain.
    details of an early hurricane that hit me in Pace, FL
    The effects of Hurricane Dennis in Florida included 14 deaths and $1.5 billion (2005 US$) in damage. The tropical wave that became Hurricane Dennis formed on June 29, 2005, and proceeded westward across the Atlantic Ocean. It became a tropical depression on July 4, a tropical storm on July 5, and a hurricane on July 7. Dennis rapidly intensified to attain Category 4 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, and made landfall in Cuba where it weakened to Category 1 status, before re-emerging in the Gulf of Mexico and re–intensifying. The storm made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Santa Rosa Island on July 10.[1]

    There are lots of storms, some are terrible. What I am talking about is over the top you are all going to die if you don't listen to our nonsence coverage for profit. The weather channel's advertising rate is higher during hurricane coverage. Scares a lot of older people on fixed income to go out and buy stuff they don't need, they are vulnerable to those scare tactics that is why they target them. You know the little slimy stuff like always showing very violent very rare flooding video in the background while they talk

    Hurricanes are dangerous and you should keep well informed. Just get your information from the national hurricane center not the hurricane pimps at the weather channel.

    So if The Weather Channel is interviewing someone and showing their damaged property for profit ( if they weren't making money on it they would not be there ) should not the person being interviewed share in the profit. I guess it just bugs me that a big corp. comes in and makes money off people who have suffered.

    The most useful information comes from weather underground relative to tracking the storms. The national hurricane center is a little too much the CYA mode.

    There's a bunch of advertising that has scare tactics as its basis: Insurance, home security alarms, pest control, fall down & can't get up alarms and the list goes on. WX Ch is a good source of info and their prep/recovery advertising doesn't bother me, good break to get snacks. Lol
