I don't see why these stations need to start going 24/7 with their news coverage now. The storm is still more than day away from affecting them.

LOL in a big way...I guess you really don't know what it means for an area with over 2.1 million people experiencing sustained winds over 140 mph for 12 hours....we don't take that lightly down here.

I'm glad they're on, maybe they can get a bunch of people to evacuate who otherwise would not have. They also are reporting on traffic on evacuation routes and so on. Very important.

That one just caused me to shut my computer down the wrong way... the window closed out, then every IE window closed, then the desktop vanished.

*stay away from that one*

Could just be my computer... but be warned.

I've had problems with this thing before, but it's been working great through this so far... hope it stays that way. Nothing is worse than computer problems.
