Hysterical overly dramatic weather coverage this morning. They have a reporter, Marla Carter, driving along 1960 with video. Had to turn off the wipers to show the light rain hitting and collecting on the windshield. Said they would report again once they reached Lake Houston. Ooooohhh drama!!!
 
Well they did. "BREAKING NEWS" that actually interrupted a commercial to show the same wet roads and light rain when she arrived. They said she was driving around the Humble area, get this...."to see if she can find any high water or flash flooding spots."
 
OMG, it's just a thunderstorm, with light to medium rain. They are creating drama over a very typical summer thunderstorm. This is the trend lately for overly dramatic reporting on basically non-events. 4951

They are now reporting from 59. Went to the lake and not enough puddles to even pretend, but still claimed high water on the lake. (Insert eye roll here). Actually said they "saw quite a bit of water".... duh! it's a lake!!!!
 
Now reporting and showing "ominous clouds" and a flag blowing (proof of wind).
 
This is ridiculous! You can't manufacture issues and call it award-winning reporting with a straight face. 4951

Weather reporters always looking for screen time. They scare everyone with the wrong forecasts then when something really bad is going to happen, no one pays attention to them. 4951

Hubby and I were just talking about this! It's downright stupid! Doesn't Patricia Lopez live in Kingwood?  Maybe one of her neighbors or friends should point this thread out to her and strongly suggest that she let her producers know how stupid the reporting is now! On the day of the 'BIG STORM CINDY' reporters on Boliver were standing in puddles and pointing out all the debris....seaweed and a couple pieces of old lumber!!!!! So laughable! 4951

@sweetie: This is becoming the norm and it is ridiculous. Channel 13 is the worst. They look like morons, awkwardly trying to come up with something so they just babble.

They are desperately searching for a little high water. It's a lost cause. Cindy was a buzz killer for them. 4951

The TV reporters feel cheated since TS Cindy was such a wimp.  We're getting more rain now, so they are trying to make it seem worse than it is. 4951

@Retired_Engineer: Seems like we got more rain today than from Cindy, or maybe I'm seeing more since I'm home.
 
Young and hungry reporters make for ****** stories. Never have I seen such dramatics over one front and thunderstorm.

@Retired_Engineer: none... I'm so disappointed that I missed my 10 minutes of fame. I need to drive into knee deep water and try to swim back to dry ground..surely that'll work.

When we lived in MD, our local news station would cancel at network programs and have the Snow Show on allllll day. They would show various locations and measure how much snow accumulated. It was boring, but for some reason I couldnt stop watching. Lol 4951
