The Weather

I have two weather radios. I found out yesterday that you simply can't leave them on so that they will automatically warn you of disasters. They pop on every ten minutes and tell you that the tornado has left podunk and is now in Timbukto county---which is 200 miles away. They are ok for information, if you are a weather junkie and a glutton for puniashment, but local warnings are a necessity. These are weak!
Also, if one wants to watch the local news in Atlanta on their four stations for purposes other than weather, you must suffer through the Flip Spicelands and company every 3-4 minutes---even if there is no weather locally. They will make a big deal out of an Alaskan snow storm, if necessary. The ads are sold!
The great drama presenting the weather, one even takes off his coat to show us, is really irritating.
Also, what happened 75 years ago today is critical to them. I don't know why.
Heck of a way to make a living.
