I saw the article about this and the overwhelming response by others who supported what was said by the Meteorologist. I thought of something that all the complaining tweeters may not have considered.

If the TV station also uses Twitter to supplement their other warning strategies, those who clogged up Twitter to bash the TV weather man, may have also interfered with that method of alerting. Don't know if that was the case, or if that help spark the comments aimed at complaining viewers, but I can imagine how I would feel if people were interfering with me doing my job, especially if my job was to get the word out about a life threatening situation.
