I wish I had bought a bottle of one of those fancy champagnes last night at the auction, so I could sent it to the Channel ten (WTEN, Albany or Schenectady) news writers. The reporter was talking about a Florida woman who had been visiting this area, and has been trying to get back home for the past two weeks. But all her flights had been cancelled or filled up because of the hurricanes, or, if she got to Florida, she wouldn't have been allowed to get to her home anyway. He finished with (paraphrased) "Because of the third hurricane forming off the coast, her return home remains problematic."
(Cheers! Woo woo! Foot stomping! They got it right!)
While I'm on the subject of newcasters and hurricanes, I pure-dee would 'preciate it if, when they talked about storm damage, they could like show us a map, sorta like the thunderstorm maps with rainfall amounts? You, know, where they show red where there's powerful damage, orange where trailers didn't get blowed around too much, and yellow where it's just mostly tree and shingle damage?
They give us maps of red in-danger-to-be-evacuated areas before the storm, but after, all we get is spot-pictures of the worst damage from here and there and who-knows-where. Those of us with relatives in hurricane areas would like to know the degree of worry we should devote. Might cut down on the unnecessary phone calls: "Oh, no, it bypassed us by 50 miles. Just awful muddy here...."
