Official Hanna Hype Thread
« on: September 04, 2008, 06:11:22 PM »
With the debut of the Hanna and Ike opener (in the style of Gustav's opener), it's time to open up this thread.

When it potentially gets closer/stronger, I request the title gets changed to "Official Hanna Storm Alert Thread".

This is almost sick, TWC is deploying Mike Bettes to New York City tomorrow to prepare for the vague possibility for Hannah to make landfall there as a WEAK TROPICAL STORM! OMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! :whistling:

TWC seemed to not be able to cover hurricanes enough, then all the sudden the lean mean hype machine cranks up when Gustav was just seconds before landfall....

Well, NYC doesn't get impacted by these storms much so that's probably why. After all, a tropical storm hasn't made it this close to my area since Floyd in 1999.

Because higher ratings equate to more money in the long run.  :twothumbs:
