TWC probably means as Ivan gets more inland Atlanta (TWC HQ) may start feeling some effects later tomorrow. May also indicate that they don't want to jeopardize the safety of Jim, Janine, Stephanie and Mike.

When I see these reporters, I often think of how as a child they scared the bejaysus out of use with pictures of 2x4s that had become missiles. The lesson, of course, was pretty simple -- "Don't go out in a hurricane".
So I see these windblown people in raincoats, I always chant, "C'mon ... 2x4! .... 2x4! .... 2x4! ..."
(and it never happens)

The "mother" of all live reports will always be Dan Rather's report from Destin during Opal. Dude was getting blown away! I recall my family eating supper when he came on the screen and we all started laughing hysterically. There's just something about Dan Rather that makes you want to see him get blown around by a hurricane.

If she's out in the middle of a Cat 4 - she will go - flying away!
I hope these reports have the sense to realize that reporting outside during a Cat 4 landfall is a bad idea...
I saw her showing how their location is OK because there's an overhang on the balcony
And where is she located again.....right in the bullseye
