Local television is the best for silly buggers reporting. Here in rural North Carolina, the field reporters look like teenagers. The funniest moment came when a young woman squatted down and pointed at the surf. No one knows why. At that point an unexpectedly large wave appeared and knocked her down. She held onto the mike and while laughing, stood back up and continued her report. Another young woman, 4 miles inland of me said they had just had a 44 mph gust. Well, it must have been a car passing because there was no wind here and no one else in the area experienced any wind over 10 mph from Washington, NC West.

Lots of folks getting paid to run around in circles and yell "The sky is about to fall!!!" There was some rain in the southeast portion of the area, mostly on Nantucket but the TV folks expended far more energy than Earl did. The boob-tube babble was endless but the field crews were hard pressed to find anything worth filming _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
