"America loves interruptions for extreme weather, and there tends to be a lot of it (at least outside of perpetually sunny California). Whenever there's a big snowstorm in the Northeast, a tornado in the Midwest, or a hurricane in the South, the over-the-air networks interrupt their programming to allow local news there to cover the progress of the storm and its aftermath. Even national networks like CNN will sometimes cover a storm as if it were a local network and give advice to a national (and even international) audience as if they all lived in the affected area. This could last for the better part of a day. People occasionally complain about the preemption of normal programming, but since severe weather can actually be dangerous, they usually lose that argument"
That's A News Fact!, And I Haven't Seen The News In A Long Time!
