Your predictable Memorial Day story for local news generally invoves a parade, a few veterans and a visit to a cemetery.

All pretty much scriped out and all pretty predictable - Just like last year and the year before and the year before that.

But this year is different.

That's becasue of the virus.

So take a look at this story, done by Spectrum News 1 MMJ Kate Cagle in Los Angeles.

It was all done on an iPhone and turned, from first arrival at the house to air in just 3 hours.

 

Pretty impressive.

And when the story aired, the head of KNBC in LA called Kate and remarked what a great crew she must have had.

The crew, of course, as her. 

Alone.
