I understand that with water sucked out of parts of Ocean people are walking on the seabed. They don't realize it will quickly fill back in

I don't think so, they are provided valuable service.

It's not as chaotic as it seems, they all have designated safe retreats.

Hurricane coverage is quite captivating

Selfishly looking for faster pace and more action

It must be tough for CNN to take a break from Trump bashing because of a Lil ting like a hurricane. Someone ought to be fired. big grin

I flipped between CNN, Fox and CBC while communicating with friends in Orlando. All joking aside I think Caribbean got the worst of it.

CNN and main stream media over-dramatize the storm, which drives viewership of course. Unfortunately... and to be clear there is no scientific value in reporting in the mad-ass blowing wind and pelting rain.... it solely adds dramatic effect. Instruments report everything we need to know about the storm, not reports with mics.

This is poor journalism.

I wait of the day a plank of wood or shingle slap one ah dem in de head on live TV...

This is the most basic means of communication, not everyone have your means of receiving information.

One reporter on the #FakeNews channel tv was even saying.... look... and pointing outside of his hotel balcony... that is water....

I started laughing and mocking him... really? you mean that wet thing swirling outside that hurricanes bring is water? I could swear is fire..... these people are something else....

Media is a business and this was a chance to maximise the bottom line. One can argue about the ethical aspects, sensational journalism etc. cool
