It doesn't even take a hurricane -- just a regular big thunderstorm. It's right across Allen Parkway from Buffalo Bayou. One year it flooded four times. Bad news since most of their cabling is in trenches sunk into the concrete flooring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJones Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I think we might be passed out in the first hour just from all the shots you have to take from the the white and eckels news conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewMND Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Okay, this has nothing to do with Channel 2, but I'm watching Fox News right now, and the reporter thinks he's in downtown, but he's standing in front of the Galleria, he even said that the Galleria is the largest shopping area in downtown Houston, also, he called Westheimer "Weth Hummer Road", I just found it a little amusing.

If it is 26 that is pretty pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewMND Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Fox 26 or the cable one? If it is 26 that is pretty pathetic.It was the cable Fox News. This morning it's a different female reporter reporting from near the Galleria, she thinks she's in downtown also. These people are convinced they are in downtown Houston!

ssullivan Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 The morning weather woman on CNN this morning was totally clueless about the geography of Southeast Texas. She seriously needed a map. Every time she pointed to a place on her radar screen (which had the county boundaries drawn on it) she was off by dozens of miles. It was really funny to watch.

These people are convinced they are in downtown Houston!I watched Fox cable news for a second on Friday morning. The anchorwoman was an idiot. She was looking at map and listing off the major highways out of Houston (290, 45, 10). Like she givng some insightful information. Um, I would hope that citizens knew which way to go to evacuate.What? I-10 leads out of town? Thanks Fox News for that helpful tidbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Did you hear the newscaster in Galveston (don't remember which one) who said (early in the storm)..."We are having wind gusts ranging from 1 mph all the way up to 8.7 mph."Now that's some storm!

Talbot Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I think you could have gotten wasted seeing that lady interview the gas station owner that was trying to direct the traffic. Poor guy was probably getting real sick of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west20th Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 I think you could have gotten wasted seeing that lady interview the gas station owner that was trying to direct the traffic. Poor guy was probably getting real sick of her.I can't recall the channel but there was this news lady shoving her microphone in to the faces of the returning Galvestonions. Besides annoying these people she was holding up the flow of traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 yeah, thats what the news lady was doing at the gas station. After every break, they would go to her and she would just walk up to him and ask him the same questions while he was trying to direct traffic. She slowed the flow of traffic there pretty bad too.
