Fingernails on a Blackboard

All of you have heard the noise: the screech of fingernails on a blackboard. This is a sound that will stand your hair on end, and cause physical pain when you hear it.

I was watching a local weather station tonight. I will not name the station, but they advertised video of the dust storm that blew through earlier this evening, and while I was out in that storm, I wanted to see the video.  It was impressive: it showed the visibility going to zero as the dust blew through.

The announcers changed, so the gentleman who narrated the dust storm video was no longer speaking, and a female forecaster was on the air. Her voice was abrasive, very much like fingernails on a blackboard. I can not believe that she was broadcasting.  What are they thinking? It was awful.
