    TV meteorologists say they have become hate figures to
    conspiracy theorists who have been responding with death
    threats to their lifesaving advice.

    And the combination of two vicious hurricanes and an
    overheated election race has created a perfect storm
    of abuse from people who believe the damage is deliberate.

    Some claim the fury has been supercharged by prominent
    figures online including far-right Congresswoman Marjorie
    Taylor-Greene who insisted 'they can control the weather'
    as Hurricane Milton began its approach on Sunday.

    WLNS Morning Meteorologist Katie Nickolaou is among those
    who have been deluged with threatening messages after
    trying to debunk the theories.

    'Murdering meteorologists won't stop hurricanes,' she
    tweeted. 'I can't believe I just had to type that.'

    . . .

    Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm ... these are people with ZERO grasp
    of the scale and energies associated with such storms.

    Can't make 'em, can't steer 'em, can't disappear 'em.

    Nuke 'em ? That'd just make them a bit larger, and
    radioactive.

    BUT, it's an election year, so .......
