Have you ever noticed that the weather people on the air are all desperately reporting great danger in normal weather across the country? Apparently, trying to get bored watchers to watch them perform amid commercials making us all well again. But then again, maybe there is something about the weather that we should be concerned about.
Dear Brother,
I am writing because I believe you are in imminent danger. Every day now, regardless of what fake news TV channel I'm watching, they all speak in desperate tone about the danger lurking across the great bread basket of the United States…the weather.
Death stalks from the Western mountains to the Gulf states all the way across the country from Florida to New England. There are deadly tornadoes, derechos, wildfires, hail storms, lightning and floods. Not to mention the insidious drought that plagues our country and its crops leaving us a future of famine. In winter, we are faced with blizzards, far below zero temperatures, and deadly ice storms with power out long enough for citizens to freeze to death before they are rescued.
It is a dire, apocalyptic time. So, dear brother, you can escape to where I am where all we have are the usual droughts, watered by tropical storms, and the occasional hurricane to liven things up. At least, until the Gulf of Mexico comes lapping at my door.
Your Concerned Brother,
Ron

But my satirical intention with this article was to spoof the lengths that weather reporters go when reporting weather, all trying to move up the ladder of success.
It all got started by Dan Rather, as he explains, in 1961.
