Internet generation.

Today's youth sensationalized this through their cell phones, laptops and Blackberries on an UNPRECEDENTED scale.

TRC, that would be their "own media" frenzy, ....... not the Licensed Media frenzy.

cheers

TRC, that would be their "own media" frenzy, ....... not the Licensed Media frenzy.

Gives the mainstream ideas about what to run, though.

Right.

Oh, did they quit de-foresting and surface mining there in Charleston City Limits, Cross Lanes, etc. ..... the reason they haven't reported any flooding events recently?
