"I am a teacher, currently a college professor of Education. My approach to Social Media during hurricane chases is to be real without panicking people. I like to educate people about what to expect and when. I have found so much hype leading up to hurricanes that it is disheartening. I share the NHC forecasts and explain them. I share my thoughts and explain why I feel that way, including any misconceptions."

This is EXACTLY how I do social media with my forecasts, ESPECIALLY with winter storms. Hype sells, and unfortunately my students, coworkers, and neighbors get wrapped up in what weather channels are selling them.

Instead I take the same approach as you, highlighting important information, and explaining what's essential to know.
