CNN’s doing it: CNN is inviting “citizen journalists” to send in their hurricane stories, photos and video.

Tim Morgan solves a Nashville blogging mystery: In addition to having a really funny account of yesterday’s WKRN video training for bloggers, Tim solved the mystery about why the Jacob’s Posse bloggers are quiet these days.

Quote:

The MIA Jacob’s Posse boys have officially taken a hiatus from blogging for the summer. As Blogger #1 (or #2, I can’t keep up which is which) told me, “We’re kids and it’s summer.” They’ve learned at 14 the true secret to blogging: Only blog when you’re avoiding legitimate work. It’s summer: no work, no blog. Brilliant, really. (This is evidently the reason that you never hear from Captain T anymore at Thursday Night Fever.)

Deja News: Really, this hurricane happened before, didn’t it? All my family in that area are safely on high ground. Thanks for asking. Key to understanding this storm: It’s more narrow than Ivan, so the damage will be more concentrated.

Observation 1: The Weather Channel must live for days like this. But really, how many table mate ads can one be subjected to before throwing the remote through the TV screen?

Observation 2: The word “hunker” is very popular with anchor-people today.

Observation 3: Am I imagining this, or has Soledad O’Brien been on air continuously for the past five days?

Observation 4: Like in Mobile during Hurricane Ivan, Anderson Cooper seems to be enjoying himself too much. I’ve turned off the sound and Cooper and the other anchor are gesticulating and pointing up toward trees and service station signs blowing down the street.
