Oh, but don't you know Tennessee doesn't exist in the eyes of the national media? It's not news when a place that doesn't exist gets completely wiped out. Unless they could find a bunch of total hicks in the wreckage, so they could interview them and make us all look like morons.
Eh... that's an Associated Press story. They catch just about everything that's even remotely newsworthy. There were 3 articles on our storm following the same textbook article format.
And in the second article, they do point out that our storm hit the same day our troops captured Saddam Hussein's sons. So, in short... no one but us really gave a crap about our storm. :o)
