And, whenever the Governor comes on with a live update, I turn off the television because he is just plain boring and repetitive. Just give me clear and concise information that I need to deal with the storm. OK, I'm done and I'll have another beer.
We gave up on Cable because I think they are really trying to frighten everyone, the more dramatic the better. We have switched to either 2 or 6 and the coverage is excellent. Showing minute by minute what is happening in our area and nothing else .... all good.
