    haha. No. It's not.

    That's like saying MIS is a dentist because you brush your teeth.

    My point in posting the article was to draw attention to how CNN, that claims to be "trusted news source" for the public to rely on for factual, unbiased information on current events, are really just intentionally manufacturing fear in hopes of generating clicks on their article. (I know posting was perpetuating)

    I'm not breaking a story myself here.. everyone knows this is what happens. I was just particularly angered by how far they were from any "real" suggestions from any actual weather services and just how blatant it was.

    What was even more f0cked up... is they essentially admit they are making sh1t up... then throw an asterisk in there with...."weather forecasters are notoriously wrong", in an effort to remain quasi ethical...

    It's like:

    Another Sandy?

    (open the article and read)

    Just kidding...forecasters aren't really saying that..

    BUUUUUT..... forecasters are always wrong... (que spooky music)
