Only NBC covered the severe storms battering the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. Its lead story, from Martin Savidge in North Carolina, used the hook that Tropical Storm Noel had strengthened to become a hurricane and was threatening to damage coastal property from the outer banks to Cape Cod. The major news made by Noel, however, was before it became a hurricane: with 118 dead and 65,000 homeless in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, Noel was the "deadliest storm of the 2007 Atlantic season." NBC had Mark Potter in Miami show us the impact of heavy rains along the southern Gulf Coast. Floods in the Mexican states of Chiapas and Tabasco rendered "hundreds of thousands" homeless. Check out Potter's vivid pix of Mexicans "neck deep in their escape."
