Well the death estimates were before the storm hit. So part of the hype, or at least fear.
I had the CNN coverage on all day on a usually muted multicast stream. They had some wild clips. Early on there was a woman reporter on location that was trying to stand up to the wind and not winning. She got blown back about 30 feet and barely regained her footing, and there was a torrent of bleeping. The feed cut to the news desk with some stunned anchors who said something inane like "good thing for bleeps". They've also been constantly reshowing footage of a car getting swept away with a man inside. Another man goes running after the car to presumeably rescue the man and he's wading through chest deep water to get there. -Kevin On 8/29/05, Vivec <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmm.. > > maybe I should stop watching 'Costumes Sold' numbers and turn on the news ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Save $10 Download ZoneAlarm Security Suite http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=66 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:171496 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
