You're right!!!

I'm watching the Salisbury, MD news right now - which is actually more local for me than the Norfolk stations.

They're saying 4-6 inches of rain and about 30mph winds with gusts on the coast of about 50.

It really torqued me off earlier today when the talking head (can't think of his name) started talking about DelMarVA - but named cities on the other side of the Bay. Call me nitpicky, but having been a reporter, I've got a problem with these talking heads not doing their homework to know what they are talking about, particularly when it comes to locations in the paths of major storms.

The rain has again picked up, but there is barely a breeze.........we'll see in about 30 minutes or so.......

We discussed this LAST storm, didn't we? I think all this talk about "Why weren't these people warned" is because the reporters we have now -- or they have us at their mercy -- are stupid; they don't know geography, they don't know science, and they sure as hell don't know how government's work in situations like this.
