This was a complete test of our skills as journalists and as a team. We were on the air 24 hours straight for almost four days. Even without our studios and normal equipment available to us we stayed on top of the latest details, leaving our competition in the dust.• Covered the Federal indictments of many local politicians including the high-profile cases of Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan. The indictment of these two started a county-wide sweep of Luzerne County by the FBI, causing a domino effect of political and elected officials being Federally indicted.• I also had the pleasure to be a part of our many storm coverage stories, including: blizzards and snow storms, flooding, tornados, hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes & many other natural disasters.
