NBC 6’s John Morales, who has worked in meteorology for more than 40 years, warned of Milton’s “horrific” power as it approaches Florida.

We’re about to remember why the weather was considered an act of the gods in ancient times.

Insurance Companies: What do you mean “ancient times”??

Insurance companies: we won’t cover your area anymore because it’s not profitable. Sucks to suck… Ps your last premium payment is due on the first.

I live in Milton, FL, and like the last one, we’re 100% dodging this one. Weird.

I hate how news reporters are expected to be robots. And not human.

I saw one weather report where it’s just a boring day, boring weather, but there was a golden retriever in the studio.

He came running over to the weatherman, and got excited to see him. Weatherman is petting the dog, still doing the weather, and laughing while doing it. Calm sunny day, mild weather, nobodys getting hurt because he’s sitting on the floor, rubbing and hugging a dog. He still does the weather report, just with a dog.

He got fired. They aren’t allowed to feel human.

So now you’ve got this, a very real, and very bad hurricane coming through, and this weather feels the need to apologize for feeling empathy, because of the way the entire industry acts. Can’t laugh at a funny story. Can’t mispronounce a word, or say the wrong word, or have human error.

No, you’re a robot, who says the words. Any emotion is penalized. I think that sucks.
