They do that to warn people in the viewing area. Sure, it might not be conveinent to stop a game or TV show because of a weather alert, but these things save lives. While it might not be doing much more than raining where you live, other people in the viewing area might be getting affected by severe weather and the more advanced warning they have the better. It would be great if the weather can be predicted so accurately that viewers can get personalized forecasts to their specific address, but remember that you share your TV programming with several other people, not just those in your household. Do you really think that your TV show is more important than the lives of others in your area? If so, then you really need to shut the TV off and get a hobby. Perhaps play a little backyard football, then when the storms do hit your backyard we will no longer have to deal with your selfish and pathetic rants. Now please stop trying to sound like a grown-up, you are doing it wrong. : )
Have you ever been in a tornado? Do you know how many lives have been saved because the news station made everyone aware of what was going on so they would be prepared. Ask those people in the tonado areas that are hit every year and thank God you were warned.When you see your roof blown off or one of your loved ones die in one then talked to me. Grow up
I really wish the television stations would quit pre-empting programs to tell people its rainy and stormimg. Human kind has survived inclement weather for millennia without the aid of so called television news anchors. This is why I don't watch local news programs, because they often have no concept of what constitutes news. And has it occurred to the station that the people that are watching are already inside, and do not need to be told to stay inside. Just play the freaking scheduled programs.
