Yeah, but look at the size of the storm.

[–]cheeriebomb 18 points19 points ago

Exactly. You want a little rain, you get one person to do a dance. You want a hurricane? Convince a nation to do it.

I also live in Hampton Roads (Norfolk, actually), and our bad camera habits are rather profound. This, the Irene streaker, numerous other year round background antics. Poor, poor Wavy TV 10.

That really sucks, bro. They all seem so nice, and Wheeler is so silly seeming. But, hey, lots of famous people don't tip. I work at an Italian restaurant and the Maryland team at some recent sport event stiffed our* driver on a 200+ calzone order.

Edit: out -> our

[–]wtf_kitties 3 points4 points ago

Yeah it sucked because it was me and another driver givin them their 250+ pizza order for their employee appreciation day. They didnt help at all and we unloaded and categorized the pizza... ALL the pizza...

as long as it's not an earthquake or anything more than 4 inches of snow. the entire state pisses it's self when either of those happen.

[–]voodoo_curse 3 points4 points ago

4 inches? 757 shuts down for half an inch.

[–]Exiledbrowncoat 0 points1 point ago

I was trying to include the state as a whole. We have to be nice to the nova type people. Even if they are turning into yankees.

[–]tedner 103 points104 points ago

Ahh, good old Norfolk.

[–]aequitas3 33 points34 points ago

We don't drink! We don't smoke! Norfolk! Norfolk! Norfolk!

[–]surfsean 19 points20 points ago

From Norfolk to Suffolk and all you f*cks in between.

[–]monkeedude1212 16 points17 points ago

Canadian here, so bear with me, and perhaps you'll laugh.

For the longest time I always figured Norfolk was just a term for "Northern Folk" and Suffolk was for "Southern Folk" so that Suffolk might refer to the Brighton area and Norfolk might refer to like Manchester or something... But for whatever reason, after reading this, I decided that perhaps its time I actually looked it up.

Now I realize that you were actually telling a joke, and I feel quite sheepish. I wonder what other geographical gaffes I'm making...

[–]Twyll 16 points17 points ago

Technically, Norfolk and Suffolk do refer to regions in England that are North and South of each other, like Essex and Wessex and Sussex are East and West and South. We just stole the names from the Brits. Might as well get SOMETHING out of our tax money, eh?

Edit for fun fact: the "folk" is actually pronounced "fuck." This can lead to amusing situations when we try to correct people who pronounce "Norfolk" wrong.

[–]IT_Derp 9 points10 points ago

I was so confused reading this, why are we talking about Britain and why are the canadrians chiming in...

[–]loldudester 7 points8 points ago

As a Brit, I never knew there was a Norfolk in the US.

Bunch of name stealin' yanks!

[–]Sheldon_Tupac 3 points4 points ago

We have a Norfolk in Nebraska too. We say "Norfork" for whatever reason though

[–]loldudester 0 points1 point ago

Weird, pronunciation changes a lot between countries though, Ithink they have one in Australia too, with another different way of saying it.

[–]xAIRGUITARISTx 1 point2 points ago

Obligatory "I'm also from Nebraska!" comment!!

[–]Skrattybones 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit, do we have both people from Nebraska with an internet connection in the same thread on the same website?

WE DID IT.

[–]Hyper1on 9 points10 points ago

As a brit, I got really confused when the guy above you started referring to Brighton and Manchester.

[–]Redditastophe 3 points4 points ago

A team at my local trivia night is named "Norfolk and Chance."

[–]queen_frostine 1 point2 points ago

WHERE?! I live in Suffolk, I wanna go! I'm a triviaholic.

[–]Redditastophe 0 points1 point ago

Redwood City, California.

Norfolk is a street here. :)

[–]queen_frostine 0 points1 point ago

Well-- Norfolk St, Redwood City, CA HERE I COME.

[–]Zafiada 2 points3 points ago

...And I'm just sitting here from Hampton...

[–]head0fst33l 1 point2 points ago

... masturbating. Same here in Chesapeake.

[–]monkeedude1212 0 points1 point ago

Oh don't even start with British pronunciation.

Just got back from London, stayed in a part of the city with the Southwark Bridge, the Southwark region you could say. Everyone says it like "Suthuck" - so we tourists sound silly saying it like its spelt: South and Wark...

And then the Scotts! Edinburgh? The Americans Pronounce it Ed-in-Berg, the English Pronounce it "Ed-In-Borrow" and the Scotts Pronounce it "Ed-in-bra"

I gave up trying to figure that all out. Not worth the effort.

[–]IT_Derp 0 points1 point ago

Suthuck do you not mean Suffolk as in the place Suffolk

[–]Twyll 1 point2 points ago

No, s/he means Southwark, which is pronounced "suthuck" because Brits say things weirdly. Although it's amusing that "Southwark" and "Suffolk" rhyme despite being spelled entirely differently.

[–]Twyll 0 points1 point ago

Don't forget about Gloucester and Worcestershire. Gluhster and wuhstershur!

Also, I've always heard "Edinburgh" as "ED-in-buh-ruh."

[–]jeremy 0 points1 point ago

Gloucester is probably closer to Glos-ter, and Loughborough is a fun one (Luff-buh-ruh).

It's always confusing to be somewhere with a 'borrowed' English name, but a different pronunciation - There's a town in Australia called Exmouth, but our one is called Ex-muth.

[–]Twyll 0 points1 point ago

Americans can be illogical in their pronunciation, too. In Pittsburgh there's a street that's called "AL-lies Boulevard" or "Boulevard of the al-LIES." The pronunciation of "Allies" depends on where you put the "Boulevard."

[–]thepolodoc 0 points1 point ago

Does lowestoft count as a f*ck in between?

[–]jsophoto 1 point2 points ago

hey now, no need to drag Suffolk into this.

[–]ElToroFuerte 0 points1 point ago

How do I live in the Tidewater area for ten years and not know about this. I must hunker down too well....

[–]KidDeath10k -1 points0 points ago

Argh, I live only an hour from there. I wish I could have witnessed this in person!

[–]Bunneh4 -1 points0 points ago

which direction? I live about an hour away. north.

[–]KidDeath10k -1 points0 points ago

Hour away, south.

[–]TheLanceHan -1 points0 points ago

[–]AnHonestQuestions 7 points8 points ago

Hour away, serol, in the 7th dimension.

[–]TheOtherSideOfThings -1 points0 points ago

I'm an hour away to the west.

[–]KidDeath10k -1 points0 points ago

Are you on a boat?

[–]TheOtherSideOfThings -1 points0 points ago

Oops, I meant Norfolk was an hour away to my east. Gotta get that reference frame correct!

[–]KidDeath10k -1 points0 points ago

Too late, I still think you're on a boat now.

[–]jsophoto -3 points-2 points ago

Even if you lived 5 minutes from there, what are the odds you'd have actually witnessed it in person?

[–]KidDeath10k -1 points0 points ago

Well, when I did live in Virginia (during Hurricane Isabel), I did go to the beach just to dick around while it was all happening. The most terrifying, yet exciting experience ever. So I think the chances were moderately high. xD

[–]edomo 0 points1 point ago

Ah, Isabel. Or, as I know it, the time William and Mary administrators lost their shit and shut down campus for two weeks. Awesome way to start my freshman year.

[–]Mitz510 16 points17 points ago

What is the point of broadcasting in the beach during a storm?

"Yeah as you could see and so you skeptics across the country don't think we were lying about the storm here is live footage of the waves and wind".

[–]mens_libertina 7 points8 points ago

Right of passage for local reporters, I think. You don't get to cover a local murder until you've survived a storm on camera (and everyone laughs at you in outdoor wear getting crap in your face).

[–]leetheproducer 8 points9 points ago

this is from wavy-tv in my hometown of norfolk, va. yay 757 shoutout!

[–]WhitePostIt 35 points36 points ago

Is it just me, or are people starting to use major storms to get on camera?

[–]wretcheddawn 21 points22 points ago

Hi, I'm here live from near a building and some things, and the wind is blowing and some rain is raining; in a few hours there will be more water than there is now! Now to somebody else in another state who will tell you the same thing!

[–]CakeBandit 9 points10 points ago

I've never understood why the weather man has to go out into the shitty storm. They can't just roll by with a camera out the window and be all "THERE BE RAIN."

[–]stniesen 4 points5 points ago

[–]anonymous_troll 1 point2 points ago

..and that would be from my hometown.

While tragic, this wasn't a big storm by relation to what hits Hampton Roads frequently. The major damage caused by Sandy was caused by hitting areas that aren't frequently hit by hurricanes, and so aren't built to be hit by hurricanes.

Long story short, a category 1 storm doesn't really scare these folks, and they'll be out there hamming it up.

[–]Matriss 0 points1 point ago

They're doing it wrong (though I don't know that I could do better in a storm), it's not hopping around it's counting with your feet like this:

L,R,LL
R,L,RR
and repeat

(it doesn't matter which foot you start with so long as everyone dancing starts on the same one)

Put on the backing beat to time your steps, pick your knees up high, time the wrist movements so that your hands go up and down along with your feet, swap out for the invisible lasso move every so often, and that's pretty much it.
