I've got to agree with you, Harry. It seems like they're so hungry for bad news that they are hyping up the stories of these storms.
I live in a windy part of the country. There are days that my winds are higher then tropical depression winds. Where's the media then?
The ONLY thing that's good is TWC is keeping everyone up to date even if something has just formed off the coast of Africa. People will definitely have time to prepare with this much advance notice.
