Can We Atleast Agree on the Weather?

I am switching up my blog theme a bit this week to touch on one thing that news outlets across the board agree on and cover similarly: The Weather. It is hard to find a topic or news event across Fox News, CNN, and NBC that they all can agree on and report on similarly. Natural disasters and extreme weather are two topics that no matter the news affiliation, are reported on with very little contrast. News outlets have become so increasingly polarized, that there are few topics they cover in similar fashions. Luckily for us, they can all still agree on the weather! 

Now don't get too excited, because if I were to get into the cause of increasingly extreme weather patterns and natural disasters, they most certainly would not agree. But this post is not about the impending threat of global warming....I am simply here to showcase that there are events that Fox News and NBC can agree on: STORMS!

The Fox News headline reads: "Severe storms, tornadoes possible across the Deep South-The biggest overnight threat of tornadoes remained over Alabama". The article goes on to explain that the prospect of more tornadoes overnight and into Thursday across the Deep South has forecasters advising residents to take extra precautions after a wave of storms pounded the region throughout the day Wednesday, leaving a trail of splintered trees and damaged buildings. The article states that scattered severe thunderstorms are expected Thursday for portions of eastern Georgia, through the Carolinas into extreme southeast Virginia, according to the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center. The article ends with a quote from the center stating "Significant tornadoes, wind damage and large hail will be possible from morning into afternoon," and "Severe thunderstorms will also be possible from parts of the eastern Gulf Coast into the southern and central Appalachians."

NBC similarly covered the storms in the south with their headline reading: "Storms leave trail of damage across South and East Coast--In North Carolina, TV anchors fled a studio as a circulating storm passed overhead. The weather comes after tornadoes in Mississippi and Alabama." The article describes the storms that produced tornadoes and destroyed and damaged homes in Mississippi and Alabama swept over the Southeast and Atlantic coast Thursday, with heavy rains and winds that tore off roofs. In North Carolina, a rotating storm prompted newscasters to seek shelter and move from a studio to a makeup room during a live broadcast. The article included a dramatic quote, "It's over us. This is not the room we need to be in," WGHP chief meteorologist Van Denton said on air. There were no injuries, but the roof audibly rattled. The article ended by stating the National Weather Service had issued high-risk severe weather outlooks, which are somewhat rare, for parts of the South. 

So I ask you, "Can we atleast agree on the weather"....?
