I literally sent this comical bit to channel 2, 11, 13, and The Weather
Channel. Channel 11 IIRC responded that they were sorry that I was so
jaded. They apparently missed the point.

No damn wonder ... they share a large bit of the responsibility for the
"crying wolf" that resulted in 10 times more deaths from the last
"evacuation", than from the storm itself.


its all about creating the NEXT headline! after the storm they get a
few more days to shock us with the death toll and damage estimates!
Then we git ta hear about how the bubmint didnt do enough! When they
run out of real news they just repeat it add nausium or simply make
sumpin up!
hm.. think I'll go get that drink now.
