Probably.

Only out of camera shot is the hot blonde chick in the inner tube holding the Yeti with the cold beer!

Hard to disagree with either of you!!

the coast guard & other rescue agencies need to purge their orgns of anyone & everyone that gets in the way of their primary mission of saving life.

that decision will have to come from the top, then passed down through the chain of command.

but, there might be some PR value, i don't know.

I do have a very Large respect for the men and Women that risk their lives protecting this Country and Saving the People in need like in Texas right now.

We OWE them more than we can pay them.

That being said the Media needs to stand aside and let them do their jobs as quick and safely as they can.
When a news reporter is standing or sitting right next to them taking up space and getting in their way it endangers the crew that is trying to perform their duties and it risks everyone's safety and like I said before Takes up valuable space that is needed to make more Rescues.

The reporter yesterday that kept putting the Mic. in the face of that poor woman and her kid until the lady had had enough and lam basted the reporter.
The reporter was appalling she did not even need to be breathing the same air as that pour lady.

I will say it again.

The Media needs to stay out of the way of the true HERO"S of this country and stop taking credit for what others do.

OH WOH look at me I WAS THERE LOOK WHAT I DID.
Ya you jack off you got in the way of the true people trying to help the needy.

ya, it's going to take some top-down decisioning to make your recommendations become true. everyone will be better served, but a few egotistical reporters might get their feelings hurt. oh well, so be it. but, the gov't does love some positive reporting on the good they are doing, for us viewers back home. it's a bunch of trade-offs. just keep pushing forward.

I didn't have a problem with the reporter on the Black Hawk because it only happened once and FOX sent one their best who knew the rules. He did a great job of staying in the guest seat and out of the way. Good reporting as well. Plus it was the only time to see this beast of a flood from the skies and an amazing rescue by some very skilled professionals. They even went back for the taco dog. What a great feel good story with no fake news!!!! JMHO.

NOW the dude who infiltrated the nursing home from ABC. He definitely overstayed his welcome.

What does all of this tell you? THAT I AM WATCHING WAY TOO MUCH NEWS!!!!!!

A bunch of guys need to be cooking piney woods rooters on the pits.

Calf drowned and mama wouldn't leave it is my guess.

BTW because of that very BH story and a glimpse into the nursing home rescue I donated another several hundred bucks to Mercy Chefs.

Just could not imagine those folks (especially, the responders) not having something hot to eat once they were pulled out, which only the press could show.

Again, we do need to find the right balance but also provide coverage that will encourage contributions. Maybe drones are the answer!??

HA I said that very thing today. Get about 500 split hoofs going!!!

If this was a lake up North (instead of a horribly flooded inter-state), those waves would be considered a decent Walleye chop.

Strange, no pics from Port Aransas out yet. I guess its pretty bad there.

Finally heard from my old hs buddy from Refugio. Cell service restored. Roofs gone all over.

Woodsboro was whacked as was Bayside, inland and on the northwest side of Copano Bay, across from Rockport. Eye went through Bayside. Wind guage there had 5 hours of wind of 138 with gusts to 158.

Unreal.

Thanks for that. Not much media presence here ( haven't seen one yet), but the sound of hundreds of Military helicopters overhead assures me that oil country has not been forgotten.

Great pictures KFWA!

Joel Osteen?

Radar says Oldman03's area getting hit with thunderstorms right now.

Looks like we dodged the bullet. Only a 20% chance of rain tomorrow and then becoming sunny.

Ed

a charlatan.

That was funny.
