The Weather Channel HQ and studios are located about a mile from the hotel I manage. It's always funny watching them report on a weather event in Atlanta - they all toss off streets and neighborhoods with a much greater degree of detail than their normal reporting. I'll never forget the extensive flooding in Atlanta last year - Jim Cantori spent 3 days reporting from a rowboat near his condo complex in the Vinings area, and you would have thought it was a Cat 5 hurricane from his breathless intensity.
