Quoted: There's a FO big hurricane coming and channel 8 has NASCAR, ch 10 has tennis, ch 13 has a movie, and ch 28 has football. Only channel nine Orlando has hurricane coverage. Outer band squall line going overhead now. Pretty windy at times but its not scary at yet. Me and the cat are gonna hang here for a bit and then move to the hangar.

Move to WI, every time there is anything more than a gentle rain, the ninnies at the local stations are putting up storm warning icons over everything, setting off annoying beeping sounds every few seconds. When it gets worse, they have weather reports in place of a commercial, and if it gets bad they pre-empt everything so the weather guy can blather on.
Every once in a while, someone complains to the stations. The usual response is "it's important for us to issue warnings so people will take cover....................." IF I'M WATCHING TV I'M INDOORS, ALSO KNOWN AS COVER, FOR EVERYTHING SHORT OF A TORNADO................
