Not much reported compared to Frances and Ivan but I suppose the areas
hit are poor, black and not as well supplied with TV stations and
webcams.


And what does being black have to do with your comment? I hope a private
observation and not anything racist.


Far from it. I think Michael was making the opposite point that if you are
poor, black and low tech it's not of much interest to the U.S.A. tv
networks.


Indeed. The hurricanes that hit the USA and islands used for holidays
were fully reported in the media. The latest storm, although causing
far worse loss of life hardly rated a mention.
