when they were evacuating north of us, you better believe i had that shit on 24/7.

i guess it all depends on how close you were to the fires? i was glad for the 24/7 coverage, because it let us know what was going on, so we’d have plenty of time to leave if we needed to. and it allowed me to keep tabs on areas where my friends and coworkers live, too.

fortunately, it changed direction and we didn’t need to. but the knowledge helped, for me at least.

but if i didn’t have cable and that was all i could watch, i might think differently. (even though, strangely enough, with all of the available channels, i kept it on local news all week.)

Combine that with what I saw on Kathy’s Flickr steam earlier, and I’m going to be spending the rest of the night scrubbing my mind with bleach. </p> <p> Glad you’re safe. It’s so heartbreaking to watch all those poor people sobbing on the news about losing everything. </p> Great, I will never hear that song again without thinking of hemorrhoids!

However I totally know what you mean about the coverage.  Every time we go through a hurricane the news coverage gets out of control and sometimes, you just need to watch a rerun of Roseanne to keep your sanity.
