3. I'll watch Cantore

he did a great job of telling people to "get out" before the storm. On one remote broadcast from Biloxi Cantore had the cameraman take a shot of the casino that's done up to look like a Pirate ship, and said, "..take a good look at it because if this storm hits, that's the last you'll see of it!"

He also asked another television news crew if they were "nuts" when they told him they were planning on staying on the oceanfront as the storm came in.

In my opinion, Cantore is doing a good job of educating people about the hazards of these storms. Hats off to Jim Cantore and The Weather Channel :applause:
