Bring on the Rain...

Yesterday morning around 5:00 a.m., I woke up to the sound of thunder, lightning, and rain pounding our roof. I took a deep breath and snuggled up closer to my husband. It was one of those perfect moments. Here's what I wasn't doing: *trying to decide whether the weather was severe enough to break into programming. *worrying if the lightning would interfere with our live shot. *worrying if the Digital Storm Tracker would make it across the river *obessing about why my "Storm Team Coverage: 6 Box" didn't make it on air *answering calls from half of the Mid-South about the weather on their street *answering calls from half of the Mid-South about why we cut into their favorite show *having an intense discussion on whether the storm should be branded "breaking news." *sending our photographers to capture every flooded street, downed tree, or power line they could find. Ahhh.. the life of a "former" tv news producer. One day I will probably begin to miss it... but not today.
