[Mishmash] Manufacturing News

[Hugh Gigante]

OK, so maybe its because I just spent two weeks with only fox news' "Red Eye" show for news (with delayed audio, no less), but something on the Today show this morning really got to me.

The weather national weather person came on and said (close to actual quotation):

"There is a high chance of thunderstorms in the midwest this afternoon. Now 5% of all thunderstorms get classified as severe, and 1% of severe storms turn into tornados". 

On the screen . . . a map with a big "Headline: Thunderstorm Threat" banner. 

Seems to me there is also about an equal threat to get hit by a flying ape.
