There is no way she ever got close to "weather hold" after they left. She said I am going to follow them out and tossed the microphone.

jtval 0 #14 September 16, 2007 Oh, the way she said it I thought she was supposed to lurk. Its a cool piece, though. Kudos the Weather-hold for being the main team and to the reporter for getting the story factually correct.. She must've bypassed the supervising editor.

If I remember correctly she received an Emmy for her coverage of the 1998 Large Formation 246-way Record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtval 0 #16 September 16, 2007 Yea? That's cool! We enjoyed the "fair and balanced" reporting that the community received AND she got an award from the Media cummunity? How crazy that we all agreed. My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
