Dear Local News Reporters,

I know you get all tingly in your naughty bits when possible disaster looms.  I know you picture yourself as the next Dan Rather braving your Hurricane Carla.  I know that the idea of an evacuation has you ready to spring in to action. BUT could you please dial it down a notch. Just from 11 to 10. 

Thank you,
Darla

P.S. And the next time the terrorist threat is raised, could you please not go on and on about the importance of the Port of Houston. Even though it is a possible target, I think the terrorists have more lucrative targets in mind.

P.P.S. Channel 11---please don't send Shern-Min Chow out in the middle of the storm. I love her dearly, but some day, she is going to blow away.  Plus, she looks like a child playing dress up when you put her in that ridiculously oversized yellow rain slicker and matching hat.
