Hurricane Earl

Hurricane Earl threatens the East Coast on Labor Day weekend

The Weather Channel has been pre-empted

September 3, 2010 at 5:55 pm by Neil Vigdor

Greenwich’s emergency operations center has four flat panel televisions and two giant projection screens.

Usually they’re tuned in to The Weather Channel and various cable news networks — Fox News Channel seems to be the preference.

The only program on this afternoon was the Yankees game versus the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Yankees won 7-3.

Neil Vigdor is a reporter for the Greenwich Time.
