...manage to bring everyone out of the woodwork. I just saw the WSPA/Spartanburg satellite truck driving through Greenville (NORTH CAROLINA). The thing is barely gonna break pinecones off the trees and they're coming up?

Gotta love the reporters.<P ID="signature">______________

They are a sister station to NCT and they are helping them out with a few reporters.

I saw that later on the news. I didn't think they'd ever brought anyone up before, is NCT running low on staff or something?<P ID="signature">______________

Hurricane coverage by coastal radio & TV?

So what are the coastal stations doing to cover Ophelia's arrival? Has anyone
gone with wall-to-wall coverage yet? Since I live a ways inland and don't get most of the coastal stations, are any of them streaming?

I just saw our governor on the tube, advising in no uncertain terms that people in low-lying coastal areas should get out. Many residents had already headed inland. The emergency-management people already had shelters up and running. I know Ophelia isn't a monster storm like Katrina and coastal NC is accustomed to hurricanes, but I admire how everyone here takes the initiative and gets their butts in gear without waiting for Washington DC to draw them a picture.

New Orleans (and FEMA) could learn something from NC.

Lite 98.7 isn't wall-to-wall but I was just in the car listening to Glasgow and the midday guy do a pretty good job, considering the general caliber of the station. None of the Wilmington stations that I normally can hear at home (WKXB, WGNI, and WXQR) are coming in currently.

WRAL-5 has been wall to wall for several hours now. (I love them so much, it's barely raining in Raleigh but they're in live coverage)

Just saw updates on WITN and WNCT but they are now both back to regular programming. WCTI is in a live report with someone, but no idea if it's WTW or also a special report.<P ID="signature">______________

This crossed my mind earlier today, but you laid out all the correct points a lot better than I would have. Well said, Keith.
 
Re: Hurricane coverage by coastal radio & TV?

I drove to MYB on Wednesday...incidentally, by Wednesday evening, it was beautiful there. I caught WECT-TV 6 on 87.7 FM. They were wall to wall and taking calls from people in the area. Sounds like southern Brunswick County, the brunswick islands, and Carteret County really had to tough for a several hours.

So what are the coastal stations doing to cover Ophelia's
