for those new to TV during a possible tropical storm or hurricane do not mistake what the media pumps out as "how bad it could be" and what we have seen here in TV.

As was said above what we have seen is much less than some of the "normal" summer time storms.

And for those who do not live in TV and depend upon what the media presents, keep in mind the graphics they present are not always representative of reality either.

I know the following is not nice to say, but their first priority is to get your attention followed by any information that will either keep you glued to their station or present enough cause for one to go back....often!!!

We all know they have a damned if they do or damned if they don't but the theatrics and scaring adjectives are at times out of line with what we all know to be reality.

Living here a few years makes one more weather wise.
