TV Coverage of Flooding in NYC Described as Sorely Lacking

[Lou Ruh]

That timing sounds about right. I got home sometime between 7:30 and 8:00, and that’s when I saw the TV anecdote I shared above. So it was before 8 that the last area of rotation was exiting the Philadelphia viewing area, according to the mets in question.

One station saw fit to continue coverage beyond 8 due to the severe flooding. Life threatening in its own right. July 29 was bad because the tornadoes and warnings continued all the way to the Jersey shore with no TV coverage (except the crawls of the warnings).
