[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 429782, member: 27"] When I lived in Savannah, GA there was a veteran weatherman who was beloved by the community. His word was considered the Gospel in these types of situations. In 1999 we had Hurricane Floyd headed for Savannah and he apparently lost all his composure on the air and basically told viewers we were all going to be wiped off the map by the hurricane, recommending everyone in a 100,000+ city to run for their lives (not his words, but you get the idea). My mom called me at work and convinced me to evacuate; five of us loaded up in her car and drove half-way to Macon, only for the "ferocious hurricane" to barely cause a ripple. The lights didn't even go out at my house while we were away. I was at work when he had his on-air meltdown so I only have the stories told to me by my relatives and friends who still look back on it as the day he caused a panic over a storm that was hardly worth the attention. And he never did recover his credibility. [/QUOTE]
