The people at The Weather Channel were likely giddy that they finally got a storm.

‘We hope no one was injured. Hopefully the storm doesn’t hit. Etc.’

None of that is true. Misery means money.

They are missing out on that sweet storm OT.

There was so much doom casting going on. This probably should be wrapped up in the hurricane thread though.

So you think TWC executives are hoping for people to have major property damage and/or get hurt or even die?

Seems like a stretch, brotato chip.

I’m sure they’re sad they can’t go outside and pretend the wind is blowing them over

They value eyeballs and clicks more than some strangers on the Gulf.

Why fake live shots with embellishments or go out of their way to completely fake scenarios if they aren’t interested in gaining from storm carnage?

If they’re willing to fake it, why is it a bridge too far to think they’d internally root for the worst storms possible?

Because if I were them I would fear God's judgment for such devilry, but I guess that's just me projecting my way of life and principles on others. Point taken...

Yes x1000. The more damage and destruction, the more views and clicks (=money) they get. Do you really think they aren't hoping for a major storm to hit?

Individuals who engage in such behavior will regret it on the Day of Judgment.

It's just like the newspaper business, bad news equals good press.

The Weather Channel has reached soap opera level drama. They desperately need a management shakeup and get back to weather news not hype.

This was the first Atlantic storm for ‘26 and they were fired up.
Big ratings. Millions watching.
Stephanie Abrams’ voice sounded like she had been inhaling helium.
Dr. Rick Knabb was jacked up big time. He must have had ten cups of coffee.
