My 2 Cents: Lessons from Kentucky

Eric Chilton talks about severe weather coverage and how important it is.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Watching the video coming out of Kentucky is heartbreaking. Seeing people sifting through what was their house and hoping to salvage anything. The looks on the faces of people looking for loved ones. Walking street by street looking for answers. Not to mention those that lost their lives.

We know what severe weather can do. We've had our share from tornados to crippling ice storms to hurricanes but every year that we see something big I always get a bit taken aback when we receive emails or calls or social media posts when people are upset that they missed part of an episode of this show or that.  Do we need a reminder of how important severe weather coverage is? Well, just look at the coverage of Kentucky. Total devastation. And then ask yourself, is it really so angering that you missed part of a show that you can probably watch online anyway?

I just want you to remember these images from the tornado-ravaged area the next time you want to complain about severe weather coverage. It may not matter to you, but it might just be saving someone else's life.

But that's just My 2 Cents.
