Where's Jim Cantore?

[MarcB]

Usually when hurricanes are abound Jim Cantore is there. He's not covering Earl. Stephanie Abrams is filing reports from North Carolina and Mike Sidell is filing reports from Montauk, Long Island.

I thought Jason Lee had the rights to this hurricane.

Well his show did air on NBC for a few seasons. Coincidence?

Jim is putting on makeup and inflating his ego for his next appearance.

Cantore is hangin' and bangin' at the local gym until he gets the cue.

;D

He was back on coverage of Earl this morning. He probably took some time off to get his head polished.

Cantore has it in his contract that he does not cover bush league hurricanes. He only gets Cat 3 storms within 500 miles of land now.

"Hangin' and bangin'" is an old expression for lifting weights.

Live off the coast of NC during hurricane Earl. Did you see any of the hurricane covearge The Weather Channel had? As for The Weather Channel, excellent coverage with the hurricane. Great coverage and live reports. Far better then the cable news channels had. Sister network MSNBC didn't have a hurricane graphic up just some coverage on the storm. Must have wanted people to turn to The Weather Channel for hurricane coverage. Not sure on that one.

LOL! He's now the Joe Buck of TWC. Only storms that would be worth watching by a national, not regional audience!

Great line!
