Prayers tonight for the safety of everyone in harm’s way.

If you’re tired of the national coverage…

good luck everyone in the pathway.

I wish the tourism industry sucked there so that those poor people could move out of the fishbowl.

I appears this one wasn’t as bad a anticipated. I hope people don’t get complacent again though.

I am glad people got the hell out of town, but I am pretty annoyed by the newsmedia’s coverage of it. They sounded downright depressed that it was basically a bad rainstorm and nothing more.

Darn, and I was looking so forward to hearing them tell us how they had assets “on the ground” 1,455,868,434,545 times. :weep:

I’m glad i’m not the only one that noticed this. They sounded depressed the levees held and then when they got word a couple were “in question” they spent hours talking about if they’d hold.

Yep, kinda like the newsmedia’s coverage of a different subject this week. I won’t mention the subject, since this is not the political forum.

Other than turning off the station and not watching a particular network…what can we do that will actually have some effect? I can’t stand watching/listening to ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News Channel or CNN.

They all suck. Used to be a big CNN fan, but they are also a bull**** network.

I just think we should all say "on the ground’ more. It makes you look “uber” professional. Very “pro-active” of you.

:suicide smiley:

[QUOTE](Carl Hiaasen, the Miami Herald columnist and satiric novelist, once pointed out that fallen-tree footage is essential to TV hurricane coverage. The most-sought-after video, he wrote, is "in order of ratings:

  1. Big tree on strip mall
  2. Big tree on house
  3. Big tree on car
  4. Small tree on car
  5. Assorted shrubbery on car.")[/QUOTE]

Are they sure that wasn’t Dave Barry? Awesome. :lmao:

And poor Jeraldo. Capone’s vault is still empty man. Nothing you ever do in your life is gonna fill it. :weep:

LMAO… Dave actually did chime in from the RNC:

[QUOTE=Dave Barry]After that, I made my way over to the Alaska delegation, which was surrounded by a swirling mass of Internet-generated rumors so thick that [B]I expected to see Geraldo Rivera courageously standing amidst it in a rain slicker[/B].[/QUOTE]
