- most of the video out of New Orleans last night showed no rain, no unusual flooding, not much wind
- this morning, on my twitter feed (granted, it's very limited) not one note about the tropical storm (a hurricane for a few minutes)
- Drudge has not changed his banner regarding the storm
- the power outage in NYC affecting 2.5% of the city's population appeared to have pre-empted coverage of Barry
- "National news coverage of Tropical Storm Barry is its own disaster," Lamar White, Jr, Bayou Brief, July 12, 2019
- WSJ, above the fold: nothing on the storm
- recently reported that Boeing lost its first sale to Airbus over this debacle (I believe it was Saudi Arabia canceling the Boeing 737 MAX order and buying Airbus; if not KSA, then one of the other Mideastern countries
Must be a really, really slow news day: above the fold in the WSJ -- Trump has seen high turnover among top White House aides. And so?
Not good: Colombian rebels now have free rein in Venezuela; a "sanctuary country" as they fight the Colombian government.
By the way: that NYC blackout -- one more reason (as if it needed any more reasons) why Amazon ditching Brooklyn was the right move.
Not so forever. Who would have guessed. Forever 21 trying to avoid bankruptcy.
