I can almost smell a ratings game on behalf on NBC here. I mean, it's only a tropical storm; not really that big of a deal compared to previous storms. Hence, I don't think a lot of people are really paying attention to it (besides those in Texas). But now that Weather Channel is now in Storm Alert mode, HO-HO - suddenly people are gonna watch the weather channel to see some much needed rain come ashore, not 100 mph winds knocking Cantore off his feet.
As for the Storm Alert music, lol.
If they do start playing a Storm Alert theme, I will facepalm, big time.
