Hurricane Bill and why we insist on talking about the weather

Maybe we just miss tornado season. Midwesterners are too much fun in the spring, watching their TV's glued to their PDA's weather app, running outside to look at the sky as soon as they hear the siren (not what you're supposed to do, by the way).

With tornadoes behind us until next year, we tune now into Hurricane season. Why is we're so fascinated by the weather? It's not a new phenomenon. Humans have tracked the weather as long as there was weather to track. What does that say about us?

It says this.
