I was watching The Weather Channel's live coverage (which was like watching re-runs of the same Scooby Duo episode, but boy, some meteorologists really get into things, like they are Howard Cosell calling a boxing match!) and across the bottom of the screen was scrolling text, "President Trump calls Irma a monster...", along with other FEMA-type announcements. Just hilarious!!
My favorite moment of Irma coverage "hilarity" came courtesy of CNN, prior to the storm making landfall. They were showing live coverage of a FEMA briefing. To the left of the man speaking was the guy signing for the hearing impaired. All good, right? Well, no. The spot producer, in his or her infinite wisdom, placed the inset of the satellite image of Irma directly over the signer's hands, so unless a hearing-impaired viewer was reading the speaker's lips, they would have no earthly idea what the government was advising them to do.
