So you have a shadow on the inner portion of the eye; you have the stadium effect with the eye here. I was here tracking this thing with chief-meteorologist-at-the-time John Edd Thompson, meteorologist Matt Barrentine -- we were all here tracking Katrina years ago. Now is there anything like that out there right now? No, it's quiet, and goodness, I mean, you could see how that thing took up the whole gulf, right. Well, the gulf is quiet" (note: a transcript of a certain part of a certain news program for WKRG-TV involving a series of statements similar to the ones attributed to the reporter mentioned earlier in this paragraph was added to the "Conversations in Broadcasting" section of this site (under the name "Conversations in Broadcasting #37")).
