, you know that idiots from every station in the US would be at the place of landfall waiting for a tree to come flying through the air, only to knock them out for that video coverage of how strong the winds are. What's the deal? IMHO, I think every storm regardless of Catagory deserves recognition. People need to be aware that even a TS can pack a punch.

It is a good example of what *can* and does happen to things stuid or unlucky enough to be in the path of storms unprotected. Sic 'em
