"Hurricane Headquarters" or "Hurricane Central", and "stay tuned".

Geesh, talking about taking advantage of a major national tragedy to boost ratings. :roll:

My grandmothers name is rita. But she is dead, and not a twister.

MY favourite catchphrase of all time is "hold onto your hats". On the news over here, I havent heard anyone say that thoughm which is bad advice because I think a hurricane could DEFINITELY pull a hat off someones head.
