  We’re hunkering down for Ernesto here in Richmond. In the spirit of those brave bloggers who fought off the looters and stayed online in New Orleans last year, I’ll also try to stay online and report on this disaster. 245 words.

  A quick update. The radio said Ernesto was racing toward the coastline, now at tropical storm strength. They said it will be impacting our weather starting tomorrow morning, so it’s vitally important that we stay tuned to Richmond’s Morning News with Jimmy Barrett for all our weather-related news. 142 words.

  Sadly, Ernesto timed its appearance to coincide with Labor Day weekend, so several great comedic posts went unwritten by this not-very-dedicated blogger. You’ll just have to trust me when I say they would have been hilarious. Unless you don’t think parodies of frenetic media coverage of natural disasters is funny, or you suffered some unfortunate personal loss of life or property from the storm, in which case you probably would have been shocked and enraged by my lack of sensitivity. 92 words.
