I mean, who wants sand in their digging boots?

Maybe where you are. Our local weather guy has a solid broadcast and updates multiple times daily on social media with radar and other tools to show you. He was the first one to recognize that a recent huge hurricane showed signs of changing direction in a huge way. He tells us weeks in advance about the weather in Africa that could potentially effect us. He's constantly updating us with new info. More importantly, I have the practical info I need about what time that rainstorm is gonna hit today.

Not a lot of fear mongering on the morning news usually, just a heads up on traffic, who drove into a house last night, your favorite restaurant is closing, and local events. I'm just drinking coffee and trying to find my pants.

Setting up a stunt cam to record landfall is really cool but isn't what meteorology is about anymore than broadcasting in the middle of the street during a hurricane is. It's just a way to make weather more fun so people buy your content. And stodgy old Weather Channel does surge cameras, so while they are fun it's not really a unique cutting edge thing.

I have read some books 4-5 times. Mostly I wait awhile but if there some some kind of twist ending it can be fun to re-read in light of what you know about how it enda.
