Sen. Mary Landrieu is now forgiven for thinking that South Dakota shares a border with Canada. NBC leaving New Hampshire off its map entirely? Forget about it. Everyone goofs up geography now and then, but a headline in today’s International Business Times takes the prize. According to its (now deleted) headline, Tropical Storm Flossie killed two in North Carolina before barreling across the continent and touching down in Hawaii.

IBT article on TS Flossie's "cross-country" tour that started in NC and ended in HI. Someone get this guy a map! http://t.co/8IKuPF5Co7

It might be the worst weather coverage ever, but as a work of fiction?
This is the best story ever. http://t.co/47uLF94Mcy #Flossie
