*............might...

that's it, when I get home from work, I'm going to buy every sheet of 4X8 plywood I can find. I'll pillage all stores, worse than the london riots, buy 6 generators and a gas pump, and then save my reciepts so I can return them when Dylan or Pete tell me ... just kidding.
Where's the crazy apocolypse guy?.. is he the new meterologist?

wow..let's just see what happens.

60 % of the time, it works every time.

After the last big thunder storm they were reporting outside of their studios. "We just experienced a large thunder storm, as you can see the streets are still wet here in Providence. Radar shows, residents should be prepared for more possible storms with rain and wind."

That's why they're really sticking their neck out on this one.

It's all about the ratings!
Hey, maybe if someone's boat is on video washing down the street, or someone's beachfront home collapses....onto a burning orphanage during an earthquake sunami, then maybe they'll get that anchor position?

There's the "regular" meteorologist that just wants to state the facts and give people the news they need, and then there's the glory whores that will "volunteer" to go out in the storm to get a "first hand" experience. Only they're right outside their studio and not out in the thick of it. They are also the ones that want to glorify every last boring detail so that they won't be forgotten at raise time.

I wonder what a stations ratings would be if they were to televise someone dying during their broadcast?

Oh well, let's all cross our fingers and hope for the best!

Most tunnels go through lower Manhattan, and they're going to flood. It's a given. These worst-case models have been out for years, and this is the storm that they warned NY about for a long time. They're probably talking about suspending service on Sunday, and getting people out on Saturday. Service was suspended on 9/11, too, and thousands of people got off Manhattan by ferry, and by walking over the Brooklyn Bridge.

I am already board of this storm and it has not even arrived. I don't know if I can take anymore storm coverage. These weather forcasters look like they are going to creamintheirpants they are so jacked up about this.

Way too much coverage. Evacute parts of NY?/NJ? The Gov telling you to go to your relatives home who live on higher ground. (Like they want you there!!!)Now that is funny. My bet the wind does not hit 60 by the time it gets to NY. It is already <100mph and it is 250mil from landfall in SC

IMO they are overblowing the actual numbers to give the broadcast more impact!
