Anna, Bill, Claudette - I lay low for a single weekend and the Tropics start hurling Caucasian names toward the East Coast. Here we go again! But now that we're blathering like never before, I wonder just what it will be like when a certified hurricane does slam into the social media landscape. I wonder, if it would go something... like ... this:Took some convincing but the bosses said I could go! Bags packed, camera wrapped, tank topped off, cooler full of granola & Gatorade. Hurricane Leo here I come!

Last twenty miles took forever! HUGE line of campers headed other way! Wimps! Cops almost didn’t let me on island. Weather’s really getting lousy. WTF?

Shirtless guys boarding up trinket shops. Agreed to be interviewed but couldn’t understand what they were saying. Something about ‘kegger at the double-wide’.

Station keeps calling. Wants live shots ‘round the clock. Reporter doesn’t wanna get wet. Took her umbrella. Guys in parking lot sharing cigarette. Hmmm.

Winds picking up. Saw a trash can fly! Going live from 3rd floor balcony. Gear all over my bed. Sat truck guys sure curse a lot. Is that Anderson Cooper?

Still raining sideways. Dozed off but overnight producer kept paging. Wants reporter on the beach. Says other stations doing it. Watched light poles bend. Whatever.

Reporter wiped out in surf. Still missing. Station sending back-up talent. Camera starting to frizzle. Should a brought more socks. Another granola bar, I’ll shit an oak tree.

Sat truck died. Operator locked in room. Cantore outside high-fiving Weather Channel crew. EFF THIS! Wading into angry ocean. Mom was right. Should've gone to film school...
