The last time they were like this all 24/7 live was during Ike or Gustav coverage...I'm pretty sure it was Ike back in September 2008
No, there have been times where they were live this year for over 24 hours :huh:

Eric Fisher will be reporting from Ft. Myers, FL. I wonder why they're placing everyone so close together like that?

I don't know the reason why, but I think that it's a good thing due to the fact that how much conditions can vary from just a few miles (>10) and they could better cover these 'small' differences from location to location.

Add Reynolds Wolf to the list of OCMs and reporters covering the storm. He is reporting from Miami.

Add Julie Martin too she's heading to Tampa!

EDIT: Sheesh, they're not gonna have anybody left to be on air if they keep sending everybody to Florida! Who's next? Crystal? Chris? Mike B? Nick or Viv? :lol:

EDIT #2: Julie is another interesting choice, I don't think she's been out in the field for a tropical cyclone since Hurricane Dolly in 2008. This team is more diverse than it has been in years past. I like that. :yes:

Am I the only one who thinks TWC is sending out all of these reporters because they've finally realized they have huge holes in their programming line-up to fill? Isn't that just ironic.

I can understand the reason why they're doing it considering how most of the models rapidly blow this thing up like a bomb after it's away from Cuba. Some of them are getting downright scary to be honest. It's also not far from a pool of very warm water as it approaches the Keys, it could easily ramp up some right there if the circulation stays in the open waters like it is now.

Since we know Al is gonna be with Stephanie does that mean WUWA is gonna be on tomorrow as a special edition like it was with Irene? :thinking:

It may become a MONSTER if it hits the Gulf Coast. Or it could be like Irene and be nothing more than just a tropical nightmare. We'll just have to wait and see.

You're right, unfortunately that's the kind of game we have to play with every tropical system where intensity is being questioned.

Even though my guide says coverage is from 7-8:30pm, 10-11:30pm, 1-2am, it seems live coverage is going to continue. Jim Cantore, during his live spot, let it slip that NBC is involved with where people are going and how this coverage is going forth so only time will tell how well this coverage goes.

Jim was saying that he had to stay in Tampa to report for Today and Meet The Press then he is going to drive to North West FL for Monday.
