Hurricane Irene Watch Party Thread

Eirene

Have fun, enjoy, wind and rain, cloud mass, the waves cool, lightning "cracking" above your head, "shock" but not - inner strength, invigoration from within, great Van Halen on the way.. yes, "news media" is expressing "fear" but that is "government" or "military" stuff. PEOPLE working in such, local, have good story, good reporting, from hearts capable of such, every so often.

No picture-post with HURRICANE "KATRINA" EYEWALL, no help, none "willing" to look?

Nobody's making light of the tragedy, just the sensationalism in the media while I'm trying to figure out what's actually happening. Here they would run a crawl during a TV show warning about a "puddle alert" and it was to shake people up so they'd watch the news, it wasn't about safety, wasn't even a big storm (this happened in the 90's). So when something big happens, it's almost like the boy who cried wolf. I'm not trying to watch 3 hours of fearmongering just to find out what I have to do to be safe.

This pretty much sums up the seasonal hurricane coverage offered in South Florida for roughly the past 30 years. This isn't journalism folks, it's blatantly irresponsible fear- mongering in a quest for tv ratings. Yet it is somewhat nice to see that the rest of the nation has finally caught onto a trend that has been shamelessly exploited here for decades now.

Seriously, what sort of valuable information is to be gained by having a reporter stand on a beach and gravely observe that it is currently raining, has been for hours and more than likely will continue to do so? Why not focus on the highways that are still open for people to evacuate, give addresses for shelters or phone numbers for services? Nah, that would merely bring up that pesky idea of responsible journalism. It's fairly difficult to provide a public service, such as keeping people informed when all you care about is getting people to watch tv by scaring the shit out of them.

NSpills' - had I not communicated what was beginning to occur with "U.S." force "hurricane" PULSE-WEATHER, it would have been "worse" - communicating true, speaking up, helps quell their "hate" and people are, with truth, aware of what is occurring. "U.S." force backs off, quietens, knowing We know truth.. their violence has subsided. Same thing occurred when their "weather-manipulation" was pushed toward Houston, in the Gulf of Mexico, 2005, after their "HIT" upon New Orleans - I wrote on a previous site, words, with communicating truth, heart, and their "manipulation" was halted, their huge "hurricane" they were "hyping" and promoting, getting lots of our more younger people in their cars, trucks, driving away or out of town, in "fear" from "U.S. news media" expression, "newspaper" and "television" - Houston was standing tall with calm, taking turns with street-lights, no "bull-shit").
