This was posted to the WFSB message board. This is unexcusable. I saw pictures of this tree limb on WFSB. It was hollowed out.
On Thursday night, WFSB claimed that ferocious winds caused damage during a thunderstorm. They start running it on the screen during CSI NY like it is some kind of new story. Then, the claim is made that this is breaking news and that Len Bestof is on his way to the scene. All of this leads up to something that happened hours ago (the pictures shown were from daylight hours), but is somehow "Breaking News." The real kicker is that a dead tree limb came down. The limb was clearly dead judging by the pictures on WFSB. C'mon! A dead tree limb can fall at any time. The winds never reached more than 40 mph. "CL&P is racing to restore power..." to ONE CUSTOMER without power (although the ONE CUSTOMER part was left out). On Friday morning, Haney is talking about examining the "field of damage" from the storm. Are you kidding me? One dead tree limb down, one customer without power and you people make it sound like Armageddon! It is unfortunate that the viewers fall for blatant lies.
