I learned long ago that TWC is great for getting general info and for data .... and their maps are helpful. But when it comes to specific information about a locale they don't do their homework.

They've covered enough hurricanes from the Wilmington area ...... and been set up in places with which I am extremely familiar ..... that I realize just how wrong they are. E.g., they still don't know the difference between Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach after all these years of live shots from the bridge leading to the beach.

When a hurricane is days out to sea, I watch TWC .... or if there is severe weather in another part of the country. But once the threat gets close to home, I find local coverage .... or shout at the tv a lot.

I'm sure they do the same sort of thing when covering a tornado outbreak in OK or a snowstorm in CO. The general info is good enough for me in those cases but probably frustrates the residents of those states.

And TWC isn't the only guilty party ..... the other networks do the same sort of thing.

Oh, that reminds me: I spent a lot of time yelling at that guy down at Atlantic Beach......LOL.

First of all, the "causeway" is the approach TO the bridge, not the bridge.

And, secondly, the "inlet" the bridge goes over is the INTERCOASTAL WATERWAY, dimbulb.

Just that kind of stuff really gets on my nerves!
