1. I know this is terrible of me, my husband told me to turn it to Faux this morning |
|
Because Geraldo Rivera was outside reporting on the storm. I am pretty much thinking that Geraldo could use a good knock on the head.

I could see someone decapitated from flying metal. To send someone out in that kind of weather is insane.

4. Each hurricane, it seems like they go out into worse conditions than the one before! |

5. I was thinking about that this morning. |
|
I wondered if any hurricane reporter would give his report from inside a secure building, with a live feed on a large screen behind him, a storm cam secured somewhere outside, nearby. The reporter would say, "It's been overdone, the intrepid, brave reporter standing in the middle of a hurricane to show us all how bad it is. Those reporters are idiots. We don't have to see their ratings-grabs to know it's hell out there. I value my life and I can tell you what's going on now, and what the forecast is, without risking my life."

Knocked unconscious by a flying coconut. "Yup, Phil, the winds are getting fierce out here and BONK!..."
I mean, I'm a pacifist, right? :evilgrin:

A whole bunch of them rolling down the street - arms and legs flying everywhere!
