They do this on every station...It isn't just Fox that does it.
You're right. But I think it is irresponsible reporting. Especially when they devote most of their attention to the initial landfall and the real danger and loss of life is usually later. Plus Accuweather predicted yeterday that if Katrina moved east that the counterclockwise motion of the post-action will push Lake Ponchartrain into NO. I think people who stay to ride out the storms do so because they're thinking they can survive the initial hit. And most can--reporters do. It's the later problems that will get them. I would like to see more reporting done on that. I did find it yesterday, but it was tucked in between the dramatic coverage.
