Hurricanes

No, not the University of Miami.




Hurricane Irene has made landfall in North Carolina as a category 1. The cable news channels are covering this like its Katrina revisited. I realize the damage may be great, but we will not have an idea of how much until the storm passes. I know this is one of the really slow news seasons but there is Libya to cover. It is as if they had never been through a hurricane. I have been through five, one full-blown (Agnes), four that were remnants (Camille, Doria, David, and Frederic). It is not worthy of 24/7 coverage.
