A funny read:
Quote:
For the television reporter, clad in his red cagoule emblazoned with the CNN logo, it was a dramatic on-air moment, broadcasting live from Long Island, New York during a hurricane that also threatened Manhattan.
“We are in, right, now…the right eye wall, no doubt about that…there you see the surf,” he said breathlessly. “That tells a story right there.”
Stumbling and apparently buffeted by ferocious gusts, he took shelter next to a building. “This is our protection from the wind,” he explained. “It’s been truly remarkable to watch the power of the ocean here.”
The surf may have told a story but so too did the sight behind the reporter of people chatting and ambling along the sea front and just goofing around. There was a man in a t-shirt, a woman waving her arms and then walking backwards. Then someone on a bicycle glided past.

Does anyone know if those computer models are from the same people who bring us Global Warming Hype . ..er,

Why so many manufactured horror stories? Is there not enough awful around the globe, that we have to manufacture this kind of bs?
And more on that manufacture, again computers enter the stage with adding a CG preview.. --Just a few days ago the nightly news was showing a computer animation of NYC subways being flooded -- so that everyone can visualize just how terrible it will be.
This, I expect, will be the new norm. HAL, reporting....
