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.
Sure some of the coverage seems superficial but we are thankful to Channel 9, Orlando News, Weather, and Sports | WFTV for very good local coverage.

Our daughter, who lives in Sydney, AU has been watching channel 9 live (at work and at home). It is EXTREMELY COMFORTING for both her and for us.

Helps keep all the other coverage in perspective.
