Hannah Storm burned in explosion

NEW YORK -- ESPN anchor Hannah Storm will return to the air on New Year's Day, exactly three weeks after she was seriously burned in a propane gas grill accident at her home.

Storm suffered second-degree burns on her chest and hands, and first-degree burns to her face and neck. She lost her eyebrows and eyelashes, and roughly half her hair.

Best of luck to Hannah.
She is a good reporter and the story sounds very traumatic.
We all cherish our good health.

I wasn't familiar with this story until now.
Good to hear that she's coming back.

 

Smokin' six!

Get well soon.

 

best wishes and prayers...

 

Hannah is one of the good people in our business. Here's hoping for a full and pain-free recovery.

 

Not the most fortunate wording.

 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that didn't know this news. With it being the holiday season, I just assumed she was off.
Best wishes in a speedy healing process and I hope she does well on camera tomorrow.

 

Does this mean that ESPN covered up a newsworthy story ?

 

Just did a google search for this story prior to a few days ago and nothing came up...so, they did a good job of keeping it quiet.

 

I live in general area where it happened and it did not hot the local news either.

 

A bit off topic but propane scares me. Had a couple fireballs with it and my idiot brother-in-law almost ruined a birthday gathering by not opening up the lid of a barbecue when he lit it. Fortunately no one hurt but it was a a scary bang.
I am switching to charcoal next spring.
