"For the first time ever, people are turning to the Internet as a new primary source for hurricane news. Floyd will go down in the books as the first 'Internet hurricane', " said Kyle Pike, AWS Webmaster. "Much thanks in part to our partnership with broadcasters nationwide, weather watchers everywhere now have access to the two most immediate mediums for weather reports and data -- local TV news on-air and on-line. The addition of the Internet has made reporting a truly round-the-clock accessible source."
