Don't quote me but the last storm that hit dead on there on the west coast, I want to say it was Charley but I can't remember, I purposely turned that station on just to see if they were on air. They were!

I have family that lives near Naples and I was comforted that if HSN was still broadcasting, they were probably good too.
It's over 100 miles from Punta Gorda where Charley hit to Clearwater where HSN is.

Charley was only 8 miles wide, one of the smalest ever.
Irma is 400 miles wide. A big difference.

@Zhills That's it! My family lives in Punta Gorda. I thought they were closer together than that. Although 100 miles doesn't mean much to a major hurricane. Thanks!

@santorini I remember this. It was Bill Green and a couple other hosts and I believe they were borrowing space from Shop at Home. It was bare bones and they were all punch drunk from lack of rest by the time HSN was able to resume broadcasting from Clearwater . . . I really give them all credit as they were running on fumes at the end.

I could be wrong but I remember they once relocated to either Tenn or Georgia for a few days.

I seem to remember that they were on air but at a "remote location".

Well there are plenty of sets at Studio Park for them now ;o)

Honestly, I just saw a post on FB from Colleen and I thought that same exact thing as the OP.

I do hope they go to Philly and use the studios there.

HSN is in Tampa/St. Pete, not Clearwater. I remember during a segment Colleen said she lives in Clearwater and has about a 45 minute drive to get to HSN studios.

I also remember when a hurricane was going to hit that area. They had America Store broadcasting at the time as well as HSN. They shut down AS broadcasting and I believe moved to Georgia to broadcast HSN.

Where is Tampa/St Pete? They are 2 separate cities with a Bay between them and

a long bridge!

I remember that. I think they were in Atlanta, I forget whose studio they were using, though.

Tee hee @Shelbelle I believe it was TN as that was where the original Shop at Home cable channel was located (fun fact, Lisa Robertson was a host there!) and they were later acquired by Jewelry Television.

HSN is in Clearwater, West Coast of Fl belwo is a weaher forecast for the weekend and going forward. It appears not to e in the direct path of Irma

@I am still oxox I sincerely hope so. I'm not following it closely but getting updates via this forum when I'm online. This following picture made me wonder just how bad it's truly going to be. I may have read it wrong but it was showing how the entire state was going to be hit due to the size and strength. Again, seeing that and then speaking to the UPS driver, the though popped into my head. In the end, we really won't know for awhile. Peace and stay safe to all those in the path.

@SahmIam

What you're seeing on that map is the "cone of uncertainty" which shows the area that the path of the hurricane might take. It doesn't represent the size of the hurricane in any way.

It's looking from the latest forecast that it'll be going right up the east coast of Florida. My DIL is from St. Pete, and her mother still lives in Clearwater, so I'm feeling a little bit better for her. But my niece and her family live on the east coast of Fla., so this isn't good news for them. Fortunately they've evacuated - five children to keep safe.
