One of our glorious local TV stations here in Houston has in its crawler that Bell County has announced voluntary evacuation.

Ha! Bell County is in the center of the state.

It is Bee County, according to the Beeville news webpage, which is under voluntary evacuation.

Funny stuff. The TV station can’t get the name of the county right.

TV people can be rather stupid.

Thank goodness I am a newspaper reporter....

(not that there are not dumb ones among us as well, but I have seen a lot more glaring TV errors for things like this than newspaper).

I’m in Bell county. We just got a notice from KISD that bus service may not be available on Friday because they may be needed for evacuations.

Has the tv station corrected the mistake yet? Bad time for an error like that when everyone is one edge.

They'll be getting a flood of phone calls about it.

KTRK, KHOU, KPRC.... anything to appear the most hysterical.

We’re watching the ball game so as to avoid the netwerks.
