We rode through some pretty rough weather across Northeast Ohio Monday evening and some folks are still bailing out as flooding and storm damage plagues the region. Wednesday morning at 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas, some practical advice about spring storm season: Preparing for the worst and cleaning up after it comes. And we'll look at the way the media goes all out to warn viewers, often with dire predictions that don't actually happen. Is it overkill?
