GREAT coverage.... I think we'll be seeing those kids fly past the camera once the other side of the eyewall comes in suddenly.... potential Darwin Award candidates here....

Lost it a couple of times for a short while. Don't know how long it was down because I had it on mute for a phone call. It came right back up when I restarted it.

I am enjoying the coverage. Thanks for the link. Stuart-Ft. Pierce is terrible...these places are presently receiving devastating weather and the bad news looks like it will come out of these areas, IMO. It's also interesting that the Bahamas are still receiving gusts over 90mph...this is going to still be occurring in Florida at daybreak...another very long Saturday night for these people...just three weeks away. I hope everyone there was prepared for this kind of hurricane!

For those of you listening to CBS 4 and who have been through a major storm before, doesn't it bring the goose bumps :eek: up on your arms?

Hearing that guy describe the wind effects and the blue-green light from the transformers really brings back errie feelings for me...

I can't get the link to work. I click on it in IE, and nothing happens. In Netscape, it opens up a window, but gives me a message saying that it's incompatible with Netscape 6 or higher.

Oh well...

New crew for the grave shift!!

They just showed a radar replay of Frances and Jeanne making landfall at virtually the EXACT same spot. One storm could be overlayed on the other and you'd barely be able to see the difference. Amazing.

Amazing! As if a hurricane weren't enough, they've had an officer shot dead in the middle of it all. Unbelievable.

Did they say the officer died? I didn't hear that and have been listening, but reading mIRC too....

CBS4 definitely needs commendation for their exceptional coverage of this storm. BRAVO!!

Those shots of the windblown rain from Melbourne reminded me of Georges. Looked about the same strength.

Now reporting that officer is in extremely critical condition and is in surgery at this time. Pray for him!

I was pleasantly surprised to hear one of the talking head meteorologists this morning to talk in depth about how the foliage differed along the coastline, and how some were designed by nature to withstand tropical storms (palms) and some were not (pines and oaks).

Even if she's wrong, she sure made it sound smart...unusual, as most would just stand there babbling in incomplete sentences, poor grammar, etc. and about the same things over and over.
