Whalebone Surf Shop is an Outer Banks business in Nags Head, NC.
Anytime the wind blows, the OBX sees the invasion of stern-faced storm reporters
in their fleets of satellite trucks,
risking life, limb, hair & makeup to stand in the wind & rain & floods,
sacrificing themselves to the greater glory of 24-hour storm coverage,
running down the locals who decide to ride it out for gripping person-on-the-street interviews.
"So Bob, why did you decide to stay instead of evacuating? Aren't you afraid?"
"Wellsir, we went to the Food Lion and got us some batteries and beer. Anyways, my house ain't never been blown over by a hurricane yet, so I 'spect it'll be okay. 'Sides, I'd rather stay in my own house than be stuck in the high school gym with a couple hundred smelly people and no TV."
"But Bob, I don't think you'll have TV either.
Excuse me ma'am, how 'bout you, are you going to stay?"
"Why, of course! Our little dogs just hate riding in the car."
Ad nauseum.
Jim Cantore of The Weather Channel has perfected this particular art form.
He is the master.
