FOX’s Smith compares hurricanes…
Earlier Shepard Smith contrasted the scenario of Hurricane Katrina with past hurricanes from a coverage standpoint…
What’s unusual, for me is normally when we’re covering these hurricanes we’re covering them from a beach somewhere. This is a completely different environment. Imagine the concrete canyons of Manhattan except the buildings are only two to three stories tall yet they act as the same sort of wind tunnel. And these hurricane shutters constantly flapping and then glass windows breaking and glass flying down the street, pieces of rooftops coming off, metal peeling off, and that sailing down the street. Noises with which you’re not familiar and the echoing through these canyons is somewhat frightening. It’s a different kind of hurricane experience, and I’m sure one they hope they don’t see here anytime soon again.
