June 27, 201610 yr Greenbrier golf course was hit hard. Golf tourney in a few weeks already canceled. Did they cancel the tournament completely or is it moving to another golf course in a different location? Obviously Greenbrier can't do it, but I would imagine TV wants those golf hours no matter what the location.
June 27, 201610 yr It was the lead story from Lester Holt on the NBC Nightly News on Friday, so you must not have looked too hard for national coverage.

Obviously Greenbrier can't do it, but I would imagine TV wants those golf hours no matter what the location.a few years back something similar happened before this tournament. Power was out for miles around the Greenbrier. Debris all over the course, and Jim got it ready for play. I wouldn't bet against him. He's got lots of capital to invest in the cleanup.
June 27, 201610 yr Dont watch weather channel, but that wasn't the point anyway. Was comparing to Katrina coverage, no one got it,oh wellI think we got it, just not sure you were correct in trying to pinpoint a double-standard. Or if you don't think people "got it", say what you are inferring. I will say, in Nashville you hardly heard a peep and that flood was terrible.

June 27, 201610 yr I saw a photo of debris on a bridge where water had went over the bridge, they said the bridge is normally 30 or more feet above the water. I did some kayaking this weekend. A creek we go to in the Huntington area is normally a couple of feet deep in the channel, 6 inches to a foot deep everywhere else. Saturday it was up about 10ft above those levels and moving swiftly. While we received a lot of rain here locally, we didn't get anywhere near what the primarily flooded areas did. Can't imagine what the small creeks in those areas looked like after all that water came down at once.
June 27, 201610 yr AP announced today they found two guys who were camping and were missing/presumed dead, lowering the death toll. They apparently caught a ride out of the area and simply abandoned their gear and vehicle.
