You folks frighten the entire Southeastern United States half to death. Your estimates and forecasts of the dangers were far over stated, and predictions terribly inaccurate. Your entire demeanor was one of entertainment rather than good honest accurate news reporting. Many of your on air reporters seemed to be rooting for the storm to intensify. They seemed unhappy because the dry air masses that hindered the storms kept developing.
I realize there are a lot of dedicated people who worked long and hard to cover the development of the storm, it's regretful that the didn't produce a quality news product!

Living in the Gulf, we need a weather program to keep us up to date. TWC is the best.
