Ah, because New York never has bad weather or blackouts. No, wait...
As a former Boy Scout who grew up in tornado co
and on the flip side, Brian Williams is on WNBC's news coverage at the desk
with the local anchors (Chuck & Sue) and they haven't picked it up on the

Interesting that Brian Williams broke into the network tonight at about
10:20pm ET (during a commercial break in L&O) for a storm update, but WNBC
in New York chose to stay with local standing with a microphone and filling

Earlier this week, the fear was that the storm would still be a category 2
or 3 when it reached Long Island and be moving a bit slower, too.
Fortunately for all, it weakened slightly and may just barely be a category
1 hurricane at LI. I figure that also reduces the severity of any storm
surge. By
