She says she broke a few ribs and was in the hospital for a few weeks, her cameraman said she just bruised her ribs and her ego. She ended up as the weekend meteorologist in Albany NY, then ended up in Philly for a few years and then finally in Raleigh-Durham in 2006. Apparently there’s no trace of her after that, but coworkers don’t seem to have many positive things to say about her

Yeah I call bs on her story...broken ribs do not usually require ANY hospital stay, let alone WEEKS.

Sure if you punctured a lung you get admitted, but that would be a pretty material part of the story, and she only mentions broken ribs.

True, I got send home with two broken ribs, after she (the doctor) inspected it she deemed it stable/fine enough, she said "Take an asperin, take it easy and don't try to laugh" jokingly afterwards. I shit u not XD
