But when Chinese or Russian marketers would fret that local viewers wouldn't get cheerleaders or basketball, he would drill down...
...emptied. Carp are swimming through suburban Milwaukee streets. An Iowa farmer has drowned in his own field. And the havoc is expected to continue, with more bizarre weather and even an alert about a mini-tsunami on Lake Michigan in Chicago. What next? Twisters down Michigan Avenue? Don't scoff...
