Greensburg Tornado Notes II

So as the first light broke the damage was just as if not worse than what we thought it would be. Coverage wise I gotta say "The Little Engine That Could," KSN was chugging forward and not doing too badly. They were the first to show stunning aerial video of the town. They also by afternoon cut to regular programming for awhile, until they cut in at the top and maybe even bottom of hours. Not a bad idea, if they in fact have a smaller staff, it makes sense to get their crews working the scenes rather than constantly being live rehashing the same ole stuff, like the others. They broke in for key press conferences. I would on their top of the hour cut-ins, would have liked to see more on-the-ground scene video. I will say conservative KWCH had the best on the ground damage video. Meanwhile, although new pictures are good to see, after awhile the reporters can only say so much. KAKE's reporting corps just do not fit the demeanor of a tornado. They just do not come across as very genuine and are not as strong going wall-to-wall live. The question will be, will their newscasts Tonight have anything different than the wall-to-wall live coverage we have seen since this morning. I would hope so, but find it would be challenging since they have been on camera most of the afternoon. -Hal
