José is Coming!

There was a big wind blowing through New York today on the east side. That has taken up the news cycle.

I settled in last night for some 24/7 Cat 5 hurricane "live reporting!" and ended up watching BBC sunrise to get coverage. Not even a small inset showing satellite animation.

Pshaw!

Not a lot of coverage of Maria on U.S. news channels.

What's that you say?

Maybe you're watching the wrong channels.

I'm going into the third hour of news programs which began with the local NC station news broadcasts and have just segued into the national network news, and every single half hour has devoted time and detail to the damage Maria has already done, and what it is about to do in Puerto Rico. With a very little discussion of its currently probable track after Puerto Rico gets clobbered.

Again.

All in spite of the Mexico earthquake which is grabbing airtime of its own.

Do you think the hurricanes are harassing the POTUS because first it was Irma hazing his golf resort in Florida and now José is bullying him in New York

The wrong times of day, it appears. The all-news cable channels during the daytime were mostly endless reporting about something some Trump lawyer may or may not have said out loud in a restaurant.

The evening local and network news stations shifted into Maria (+ earthquake) mode.
 
And the world kept turning.
I'll be interested to see what kinds of people will be sent to help get that power problem overcome. Give it 48 hours and see what's happened.
 
CNN said:
All people living near the Guajataca River in northwest Puerto Rico should evacuate immediately because of an "imminent dam break," the National Weather Service in San Juan said Friday afternoon.

"All Areas surrounding the Guajataca River should evacuate NOW. Their lives are in DANGER! Please SHARE!" an earlier tweet said...

There are about 70,000 people who need to evacuate immediately. But Puerto Rico is still without electricity. That must make communicating this warning a real challenge.
