We have a lot of moving parts with power crews, news teams and emergency responders in house. We need to have staff here so the hotel can remain open for them to get their jobs done. The hotel will be fine. It’s my home I’m worried about. Not in a flood zone but this could be unprecedented. MS-DOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mempho Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Anyone have links for chasers? Looking for a blue shed Coverage tonight is terrible. I can't believe that there's not a soul with a live feed on Cape Lookout or Atlantic Beach right now. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes for great photos the next day with all the snow especially in the mountains with the sun, We had a major blizzard this past winter. It been quite a while since we had a 'good'' one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has never happened even the crazy storm chasers left the barrier islands.I saw video from the Beau Rivage during Katrina-- not from a journalist. As far as journalists go, their job is to be willing to risk their lives to break the story. What if Bob Woodward had been a coward? It's what they are supposed to do- no matter the actual situation. I wonder how much everyday crap that we've never heard about that they don't report on because they're afraid of getting whacked when I see stuff like this. Like I said, there are some blue sheds out there willing to take the job if the current crop of reporters can't take the risk.

It's just unfortunate that live feeds, outside of satellite, are pretty much limited to the availability of working cell towers.

Windspeed Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Not sure I can recall outflow that beautiful at this latitude. Hugo's outflow and CDO was amazing for it to have been moving at 23 kts. That remains the best looking Atlantic hurricane north of 30°. But I agree, Florence is also excellent.

Where's your camera at?Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using TapatalkUnfortunately, I have to work these days or I'd happily go. The only time I ever chased was during Ivan and we were significantly inland. We couldn't even figure out how to get past the contaflow but- yeah-- if I could make a living doing it and had the resources of a network, I wouldn't hesitate to do it. That's not saying I wouldn't be scared-- I'm sure I'd be terrified at times - - but I'd know that going in and I'd know that there's at least some risk- no matter how well you plan (and I would plan extremely thoroughly) -that things could still go wrong.
