Hurricane/Natural Disaster rant

Closed captioning on the TV, but not live.

Can't they get a friend to give 'em the heads-up?

Hopefully the translator isn't like the one they had in (somewhere in Africa?) that time who turned out to be a complete fake. I saw one a few weeks ago and the hand signs seemed to be repeating themselves - I thought, "Hmm...I wonder if she's a fake?"

Was that at a Trump rally?    

Why so hard on the finger flippers?  It's their time to sign!  

I can't find a decent youtube of it but there was a lady signing to the Dead & Co singing Casey Jones at Wrigley Field July 1, 2017 and they put her on the video screens here and there.  Watching her speed up with the song at the end for the lines of "driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed.  Trouble ahead, trouble behind..."   I was busting a gut.  Best signing I've ever seen, and what a show!

In my son's high school band concerts (jazz band and concert band) there is always a lady doing sign language during the performance, sitting on a side row of the auditorium.  I assume one of the parents/grandparents are deaf.  I've never seen or heard of this, as all the band concerts are instrumental only.  I found myself watching more of the hand signing than the actual band performing.
