TV meteorologists say they have become hate figures to
conspiracy theorists who have been responding with death
threats to their lifesaving advice.
And the combination of two vicious hurricanes and an
overheated election race has created a perfect storm
of abuse from people who believe the damage is deliberate.
Some claim the fury has been supercharged by prominent
figures online including far-right Congresswoman Marjorie
Taylor-Greene who insisted 'they can control the weather'
as Hurricane Milton began its approach on Sunday.
WLNS Morning Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou is among those
who have been deluged with threatening messages after
trying to debunk the theories.
'Murdering meteorologists won't stop hurricanes,' she
tweeted. 'I can't believe I just had to type that.'
. . .
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm ... these are people with ZERO grasp
of the scale and energies associated with such storms.
Can't make 'em, can't steer 'em, can't disappear 'em.
Nuke 'em ? That'd just make them a bit larger, and
radioactive.
BUT, it's an election year, so .......
