The hurricane reporting is horrible. Watching CNN. They are making

it look like so much fun to go out and get blown away. I think I'll go try that. Either that or shoot myself for listening to this crap.

1. not to make light of this, but I was just down on the beach getting

blown around, albeit in Sarasota.

It was kinda fun. :-)

2. It was on when I woke up...they are playing "soap opera"

They are not very good actors. Drama Drama Drama. And I agree that this kind of reporting just encourages people to act similarly.

3. They are over-the-top, aren't they?

I just got up, can you tell me where the storm came in, Pat? Dad wouldn't budge out of Ft. Meyers, so I'm wondering...

11. I guess by now you already know it came in pretty much around Naples.

I did go outside. Lots of wind and and rain, but we're miles away from the worst of it. All the restaurants were opened. We had a lot of evacuees up here and I bet they're glad the storm didn't follow them.

4. Did they show the guy in the wind tunnel?

That's always my *favorite* part of the reporting.

5. It does make it look really bad when they do that...

...they should be saying something like "don't try this yourself". You know for sure that people see this and think it's okay to go out too. Don't anybody get blown away-we need you all here!

6. Maybe a gator will come along and eat them

then we'd have some real entertainment!

7. REVREND!

8. The gators are "hunkering down"...

They've lived through many storms & are smarter than the newsmen.

9. The weatherman on our local station said the same thing...

"Are these people STUPID or what?"

10. oh, I don't know...

I'm rather enjoying seeing these guys make total idiots out of themselves:sarcasm:
