Yeah, it seems like all this hurricane coverage is wearing on him...

Of course, we can only speculate that things are beginning to wear on him. Who knows what else could be going on. Maybe there's a familial problem or something. Or maybe there's some other reason for his issues of late. Whatever the reason, it sure is sad to see him so disgruntled. His enthusiasm in the field was (to me) what makes his reporting so good (we all remember how overjoyed he was to hear thundersnow, don't we?!). Its almost hard to watch him like this.

Is Mike Seidel not in HD? They just showed a shot of Mike out there on one of the big LCD TVs in studio, and the HD windowbox bars were present.

And Paul is still hanging in there for the 1 AM ET hour with Sharon. You can tell his voice is starting to go. Are Adam and Rich not available tonight?

I wonder if Adam is getting the "rookie" treatment and not being considered high-ranking enough to cover a landfall. If so, that's kind of a shame. Rich is probably being saved for the next hour.

No, Mike Seidel is not in HD. I think they currently only have one or two HD trucks/uplinks available.

Dr. Lyons just said, "Back to you, Paul, Alexandra." I guess he works by word association. :P

I say let Paul get some rest. Usually, he signs off at 11:00. I feel for him. They needed to have Rich and Sharon on at midnight.

Why won't they just let Adam host the show? He's there, but apparently the powers that be don't want him to be at the forefront of their coverage.

Adam is now at the desk with Rich; maybe they finally decided to give in and do what they should have done in the first place.

EDIT: Nope, now they've got Paul doing the update at the projector wall, and his voice is almost completely gone. He needs to go home while Rich and Adam take it from here.

At around 1:40 AM ET, did anyone else notice a streaker run through the background of Jorma's shot?

No more than 20 copies on YouTube already.

Those winds were very strong. And whoever that was running in the back of Jorma like that, there's something wrong with them. Also, Mike endured some strong winds.
