IKE in the Media - Enough Already...

Ike has come and gone and, yes, we are still talking about him. The local news is still covering the aftermath 24 hours a day. And I don't mean to sound insensitive, but enough is enough. I absoulutely understand the importance of the news, but is 24 hour coverage necessary? I wasn't affected by Ike as badly as many others were, but the 24 hour coverage is tiring and depressing, and I'm so ready for the local stations to get back to their regularly scheduled programming. Give us all a much needed break from Ike, if there is anything "NEW" to report do it during the commercial breaks or during the regularly scheduled news. Is that too much to ask? Am I the only person that feels this way?
On a side note, I'm including a before and after picture of Crystal Beach. This picture illustrates the PURE devestation that most of the island is feeling today. We rent a house on Crystal Beach every April to celebrate a friends birthday. Unfortunately it doesn't look as if that will happen again for a LONG, LONG time.

Your photo tells the entire story of the storm.

I used to go to Crystal Beach every spring break back in the day. What a shame.
