Hurricane Briefs: WLOX latest; stranded with pols
 WLOX-13 reported Monday evening that all staff was safe "despite serious damage to the physical facilities." On Ch. 13's website, webmaster Renee Johnson described Monday morning: "We are now moving into the older section of the building. A huge chunk of our roof just ripped off the newsroom. Ironically, it's right over most of our computer systems." One reporter who stayed behind in the New Orleans area, WDSU-6's Heath Allen, was reported trapped on the roof of a government building in Chalmette on Monday afternoon along with photographer Tom Fitzgerald. Flooding left a number of residents in that area stranded on rooftops. Although NBC anchor Brian Williams predicted a possible "seat-of-the-pants" edition of "Nightly News" on Monday afternoon, things were alright by broadcast time. "We have no power, no working computers, and one satellite path...," Williams wrote online Monday before broadcasting from outside the Superdome in New Orleans. Bob Schieffer of CBS stayed in New York. Anchors from Florida appeared on WDSU-6 for part of Sunday night as Katrina approached. WESH-2 in Orlando, which along with Ch. 6 is owned by Hearst-Argyle, pinch-hitted as some Ch. 6 staffers left for a third Hearst station in Mississippi. The Times Picayune building in New Orleans had some damage Monday, its website reported. Windows were blown out in the newspaper's executive offices on the third floor, water was leaking into the commissary Chez Picayune, and there was no air conditioning, according to online columnist Jon Donley. Meanwhile, WWL-AM was off the air for at least part of Monday. The National Association of Broadcasters is helping the American Red Cross distribute a public service announcement to raise money for its Disaster Relief Fund in association with Hurricane Katrina. The TV and radio spots feature the song "Bridge Over Troubled Water" in encouraging donations to the Red Cross.Posted by ECTVN on 8/29/2005 -
