I fully agree Tom. Same goes where I live. Meteorologists and media tend to "overreact" just to draw attention at times...

That doesn't mean of course that they (meteorologists) have an easy job to do. All it takes is a slight change in the direction of the wind, and that storm that was about to strike at your area in a blink of an eye is to the next city...where they thought they were safe...

I heard a few days back on the news that in North America temperature dipped as low as -56 C and at the same time in Australia it was +51 C...crazy stuff

Bottom line is, environment and atmosphere is fucked up for good...
That's our accomplishment...

Nature's revenge...
