The Heat is getting to WDEL.
And I am enjoying it. Here is there headline:
The story is full of sarcasm too:
On Wednesday, the high temperature was 90 degrees, and with Thursday’s anticipated high of a positively chilly 91 before Friday, Saturday, and Sunday give way to 94, 95, and 95 degrees, respectively, the region is in the middle a heat wave.
By Monday, Delawareans should be ready to break out the jackets again, however, when the temperatures are expected to tumble all the way to 90. […]
Accuweather officials said, because it is where humanity collectively seeks solace from the crippling heat, the biggest change felt will actually be the lack of nighttime relief from the (brutal, oppressive, almost angry) sun’s effects.
“Temperatures in some of the urban areas of the major cities will fail to drop below 80,” according to AccuWeather Meteorologist Jim Andrews. “This spell of heat and high humidity will be very tough for people who do not have air conditioning to sleep very well at night.”
Even the wind will abandon us in most cases, neglecting our skin and denying it the cool touch of relief. There are some options, officials said, though in some cases, only obtainable through sheer will in the face of perseverance.
Bravo, WDEL. Well done.
Copy nearly perfect for The Onion.
I hope there is more like this! The writer has an equally entertaining bio on the WDEL website:
“DJ McAneny is the Digital Editor for WDEL news. He’s very handsome. He enjoys doing stuff or things like news, whiskey, gaming, redditing, reading and whiskey – sometimes a number of those things all at once. He’s 6’ tall. In 1997, DJ and one of his best friends broke open a bunch of mussels thinking they were clams and that pearls were hidden inside. They did this under a bridge at a local park, without telling their parents where they were heading. Police were called and it proved to be a vital lesson in learning the difference in mollusks.”
I think I’m going to head to WDEL more often now!
