Watched ABC hour long news at 6.30 and CBS from 10-11 last nite and in between the weather channel, haven't watched them in years...on location reporters were in distress...and Stewart had a re-run due to storm and watched a few minutes of Letterman and was just him and his goofy band leader and no audience...

![]() i have to admit, probably my biggest pet peeve is when stations such as the weather channel send reporters to stand out in the storms to do reports.
what the hell purpose does that serve? you're telling people it's a serious storm, seek shelter...and then you send a crew in harms way. that makes no sense at all to me. do we really need to see someone in rain gear getting soaked and blown around to know 'hey, it's a hurricane'? |

![]() Powerful Article ... non-political
Watching New York City drown In 2005, Aaron Naparstek, a writer with the New York Press, published a remarkably prescient piece about the vulnerability of New York City to hurricanes, the flooding that would result along the hundreds of miles of shoreline in the five boroughs—with the water filling the sea-level interior flatlands and washing over the reclaimed swamps of Brooklyn—and the ill-prepared psychology of “a complacent coastal city” where the ocean is not thought of as a threat. Naparstek observed that in fact New York “is behind only Miami and New Orleans on the list of U.S. cities most likely to suffer a major hurricane disaster.” He cited meteorologists and disaster planners with the city’s Office of Emergency of Management who were in consensus “that the metropolitan region is due for a big one. Overdue, in fact.” Mike Lee, then Director of Watch Command at the OEM, told Naparstek that the worst-case hurricane scenario for New York City—in which 30 feet or more of storm surge sweeps over the city in a category 3 storm event—“gives emergency managers serious gastrointestinal distress.” Nicholas Coch, a professor of coastal geology at Queens College, said “The New York City area is the worst possible place for a hurricane to make a landfall.” http://www.salon.com/2012/10/30/watc...rk_city_drown/
