Just before air time tonight came word of a large water release from one dam in New London County (Southeastern Connecticut) and the overtopping of another. This is bad news. Any time a dam doesn't do its job there's a price to pay.

I created a flying animation to show where the danger was and labeled it as we normally do with a 2-line banner.

DAMN FAILURE
SYLVIA'S POND DAM

I came within around 90 seconds of not noticing and putting that faux pas on-the-air!

Phew--no YouTube tonight!

Blame it on fat-fingering the 'M' and 'N' keys in your haste?

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it...

I've seen typo's of that nature on CNN, MSNBC, etc. and I'm assuming their production staff is larger than yours. Nice catch.
