TV station invites live reports from bloggers

"Send us your live reports from the scene! WVEC.com is compiling a "blog" (Web log) of public comments on Hurricane Isabel."

Taking advantage of the blogger's tendency to want be in the middle of things, WVEC had a very large response to their call for blog reporting on Hurricane Isabel. From damage descriptions like "We have a 10 foot by 20 foot hole in our yard where our sea wall breached and sucked out the ground" to minutes old digital photos, the blogging community kept everyone up to date on the hurricane.
