The radio journalists at WLRN and 93.1 in Ft. Lauderdale did
an excellent job on Sunday September 10th 2017, covering hurricane
Irma and keeping listeners totally informed as it passed through Florida. I
normally keep my dial set on WLRN radio, but it failed after a while and that
is how I ended up with listening to 93.1.
It took a lot of courage for the reporters to be out there
in the midst of the storm keeping us informed while we remained comfortable and
safe in our homes and I thank them.
A little criticism though, I live in Tamarac and
being a Caribbean person, am more or less accustomed to hurricanes, so
was a bit startled at times when I looked through my window and saw the trees
swaying no more vigorously than in a normal storm, while hearing words like
“catastrophic” and “ferocious” coming over the radio as some reporters
described what was happening in my town. I really don’t think reporters need to
exaggerate so much or use irrelevant inflammatory words to scare listeners
during periods like that!

| Very little tree damage |
We survived well with only a very few trees losing branches
or falling down totally and must congratulate FPL as we had power throughout.
