Watching the tornado coverage this morning.

Wynne got decimated--again.  It's been hit before.  It's in the traditional tornado belt.  Little Rock and the surrounding Metro areas that were affected yesterday are not.  Plus there is a just a lot more people in those areas so they naturally get a lot of news coverage.

That, and the fact that the area that got hit is where many of the local celebrities and politicians live and shop so that is getting a lot of coverage even though Jacksonville may have suffered more damage.

I'm already getting sick of the dramatic interviews:  "How did you feel?"  "Uh, how do you think I felt when I saw that my home and all my belongings were decimated?"😡

I think some of these reporters are vying for Oscar nominations.😏

I truly detest cat eye frames. That’s what I got in kindergarten when I first started wearing glasses and I was called four eyes and teased mercilessly. 😭

Yeah, no thanks.

Reporters are sometimes clueless.

How 'bout these?

[geezerette]

I really shouldn't blame the reporters.  They're a lot like QVC hosts--they have a job to do and have to grab the viewers' attention.

It's just that after a while it gets to be too much.  People are tired, hot, dirty, and worried.  They're trying to sift through a rubble of stuff to see if there is anything salvageable, then try to clean the whole mess up and figure out what to do and where to go next.  And they've got some clueless twit shoving a microphone in their face asking them how they "feel".

Why not pick up a shovel and help instead?

Can't shovel and hold a microphone at the same time.
