Speaking of Heather, I enjoy watching her and Carl on Day Planner :yes:.  Day Planner and PM Edition are pretty much the only show I am able to watch.

Hurricane season doesn't end until November 30.  There have been several November systems documented even in seasons that were quiet like this one.

My same reaction exactly. But as Patrick mentioned, the season isnt over till at the end of the month, so there may be some action left...

ok, so who is this guy running PM Edition in master control again?

it's beginning to look like a repeat of the 2003-2005 PME massive production fail era all over again. :rolleyes:
seriously.

Master control hasn't been used for production since the full move to the HD studio last year. It's probably a poor produced broadcast/inexperienced staff from another control room.

Branding things "breaking news" or "developing" in the news business makes it sound more urgent!  I don't always agree with it, because I think some media outlets (cough-NancyGrace-cough) abuse the branding.   :censored:  But, I could see how TWC could call the TD forming "breaking news."  It's "new" and it's weather-related.  Now, it wouldn't be breaking news on the local level...  ;)

It's breaking news to Nicaragua though as that tropical depression is now Tropical Storm Ida with 60 mph winds and will make landfall there tonight.  With little going on elsewhere in the United States, expect to hear a lot about Ida tonight on TWC.
