    how bout news anchors, at the anchor desk, live on tv checking their phones and "reporting" on stuff their friends were texting them. anyone see this? "my friend in montgomery county is saying a hurricane touched ground near her house and they are all in the basement!"--then she'd ask the weatherman what he thought and he'd go "well i have not heard that, we haven't confirmed that yet... but it is possible."

    saw this on nbc10 last night. tracy davidson and hurricane schwartz. :lol: ....what a bunch of dopes

    saw something similar on WCBS2 last night. the weather guy goes we're getting reports about a funnel cloud touching down in south jersey. Then he goes well like it's hard to see through the rain and wind so we can't confirm it but we'll check it out.

    My sisters boyfriends place in Freeport,LI on a canal is taking on water badly. Boiler is done, deck is completely covered and the main house is flooded. The guest house is 6 ft elevated and ok. He stayed behind and is apparently stranded for a while

    I'm here in Farmingdale, still with power and relatively unscathed. Ground is soaked and leaves all over.

    Coastal communities obviously getting the impact

    Is she near the Nautical Mile? I'm about in the center of the island on the Queens side of the county line between Nassau County.

    I just got a call from my best friend. She has been out on a fishing boat for the last few days, no way to get a hold of her. She is 30 minutes from land and just north of the storm. She is safe...

    Thank you. I can breath again. :D
    Ummm.. this thing is moving north.. Probably not the best idea to be on a boat in it's path, even if it is only a tropical storm now. There could be 30 foot waves out there..


    I would check on her again.

    I can never recall a hurricane hitting Boston, NYC. Weird.
    Well.. It's a tropical storm now. I think it was moving to slow for it to stay a hurricane. Waters are just too cool that far north to keep its intensity up. I think if it was moving quicker it might have stayed a hurricane.

    They are off South Long Beach rd, you can see the nautical mile down the street and easily walk there

    Has anyone noticed how the reporters are increasingly almost petulant? "But it's still dangerous! You shouldn't go out!"

    I fully expect that at least one of them will stamp their feet and progress to a full-blown tantrum because lower Manhattan still exists.

    The best was during the storm they went to the reporter at the Jersey Shore. He's saying how bad it is with the wind and the surf the beach won't last!

    So he pulls out his handy dandy wind gauge....... 14MPH!!!! :lol::lol:

    "Well... It's definitely gonna get worse"..... "

    These stations get hard ons for a catastrophic event so they can stay on the air. More devastation better ratings

    One of the Boston stations showed a reporter who purchased a wind gauge _ and it broke. She kept holding it, saying, "it broke!"

    Irene fails to wow New Yorkers
    New York (CNN) -- Tropical Storm Irene's swipe at the Big Apple proved Sunday that New Yorkers can be a tough crowd to impress.

    "I slept through the whole thing," said James Trager, a writer who watched nature's display of fury as it took place outside the windows of his apartment in Midtown. "Nothing. It's exaggerated."
