Of the remaining 135, they were not able to determine whether or not they had received the warning. Of course, the headline would have to be much more complicated (i.e., complete). So, while they are correct saying "most" with 105 of 120 (87.5%), it certainly is not the complete story, if not misleading.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375784532210266737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965215084022057128.post-43499192717061883142012-04-28T11:51:38.432-05:002012-04-28T11:51:38.432-05:00"I suspect the explanation for the low percen..."I suspect the explanation for the low percentage of people knowing the storm was coming was the power failures" <br /><br />I thought of that when I stumbled across a re-tweet posted by James Spann yesterday.

Hope someone warns me to go to my safe place if I need to cause the power is out so I can't watch James Spann. :(" <br /><br />It's only one example but I wouldn't be surprised if there were many, many others in the same boat as this unfortunate young woman... <br /><br />ElaineBookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891452878064992022noreply@blogger.com
