Be aware of where you live and the threats that are probable in your area.
I'm not so sure it's all about ratings. I think the weather guys just love their jobs, and when they get some REAL weather they get excited. Think about how boring it must be to say, "High nineties with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms" day after day after day.... And then they finally get some real weather to talk about! Oh boy! Finally, a chance to put that meteorology degree to work! They seem so happy announcing potential disasters, don't they?
