You've got that all correct.
We did discuss this last storm and I had the exact same problem with the national media then. I've got no problem with the region I live in not being mentioned (I actually prefer it) but if they are - at least they should get it right.
If I learned my geography from the national media I would think Wilmington, either DE or NC, was a suburb of Philadelphia and nothing existed between NYC, Philly, DC, Atlanta, and Miami.

I saw one reporter say, "Georgia, Myrtle Beach, and North Carolina". I usually like it that they don't know where SC is, but not today.
I also learned that at least one ABC News reporter thinks Wilmington, NC is on the Outer Banks.
