Do people actually sit there and watch CNN or Fox's coverage of hurricanes? The media hoopla is a joke. They cover every hurricane like it's the first one in history.

Jim Cantore with TWC in NYC claims that even though it's just a cat one, if you're up higher in a building you can "add a cat", or if you're in the wind funnel between buildings, that will "add a cat" too. And he wishes, will it please rain already? It's humid outside!
And what's with the Simon Cowell-esque tight t-shirt?
BTW they have an exclusive F-you-up index:

I will watch it to see if the weather man gets knocked down by heavy rains/wind. It amps up the watch ability from my couch and good entertainment.

did any of you catch the "Weather Channel streaker" dude about 1:23pm today during live shot?
PM me for pics.
PM me for pics.
I just googled it. LMAO!
that streaker was awesome.
75% of Richmond has no power. Tons of trees down. 50+ MPH winds for hours and over 8 inches of rain. Good luck to everyone in the path, Irene is a big girl. Philly, get ready for millions of downed trees. In 03 Richmond had a very wet summer and then got hit with 60 mph winds and literally tens of thousands of homes were damaged by uprooted trees. Just stay inside (lower level if possible) and you should be fine.

Yeah, the weather/news people lost credibility with this. Of course, there would have had to be dead bodies in the street to match the level of hysteria that the media was trying to build.
I'm thankful they were wrong.

They're wondering if stocks will be trading Monday, because, oh noes, some skyscrapers in lower Manhattan are flooded around their bases.
Seriously?
I say open the markets and if these idiots decided to build world HQ two feet above sea level on fill, and can't get to work and lose out on a little profit or avoided loss, it's their fault.
Am I off base?
