Quite the researched article by the weekend meteorologist.

There's actually a solid weather angle on this...

- It's a massive sh-tstorm.

- It's raining pink-slips.

- AWS, Google, and Microsoft are about to get a flood of resumes.

(I'm sure there's more to this, but I'm about to drag myself off stage.)

sorry to be dense, could you be explicit about why you call them the "weekend meteorologist". (I read the article and their about page - http://news4sanantonio.com/station/contact and Googled for "weekend meteorologist" in case it's some idiom - apparently it's a normal job title? http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Weekend_Meteorologis... - anyway I'm more confused than before I Googled that phrase. Why are you calling them that, or what's the joke I missed?)

Weekend meteorologist reporting the news about a cloud provider. Seemed amusing to me. However, I won't pretend I have a particularly good sense of humor.
