Freaked out meteorologist does his part to spread panic about Sandy

Just when you thought all the Hurricane Sandy hand-wringing couldn’t possibly get any crazier … Well, it can! The Weather Channel’s meteorologist Stu Ostro has sounded off with a frenzied, breathless dispatch that makes Sandy sound, pretty much literally, like the end of the world. A few choice snippets: Ostro says Sandy "will occupy a place in the annals of weather history," and that (caps his) "PEOPLE IN THE PATH OF THIS STORM NEED TO HEED THE THREAT IT POSES WITH UTMOST URGENCY." Why? Because the hurricane’s size and its "meteorologically mind-boggling combination of ingredients" make it an "extraordinary situation, and I am not prone to hyperbole." No, clearly you’re not, Stu — you’re a Zen-like fount of calm and tranquility. [Source]
