Sitting in from of my television right now, Gene “Hurricane” Schwartz just announced that their weather computer is down. He proceeded to show a series of black and white print outs of weather maps that we attached to a clipboard. The camera panned in real close to the print outs and for a moment I felt like we had traveled back into another time where local television was a little cruder and a little more friendly. The computer came back up about half way through his report, but I just loved being a part of the moment when he had to improvise.
