Stared at the devastation still here in Tampa Bay while reading about the NOAA cuts. “My fear is, if we’re too short-staffed during an approaching hurricane, bad things could happen” www.tampabay.com/news/weather...

Photo from Treasure Island, Fl of a home that collapsed after recent hurricanes. In front of the ruin sit two Adirondack chairs

I loved this! Highly recommend! A lot for journalists to consider here, too. Craft is cultural and power is persuasive. A great look at the stories we tell, how we tell them and why:
