Living near New York City as I do, it's funny to get out into the provinces and watch how smaller-market tv stations deal with weather. I was in Portland, ME last week and was startled to see the weather report at the top of the broadcast on two days when California had the largest earthquakes in a jillion years. And it wasn't bad or unusual weather -- just the usual summer stuff -- boy it's hot, there's a chance of a thunderstorm tomorrow, etc.
