OT: Jackson's weather stations having a field day

interrupting prime time programs over thunderstorms. They spread 30 second info over 2-3 hours

It’s ridiculous. Why can’t they have an alternate channel or something?

Exactly. Sirens have gone off twice in my neighborhood. Within about a minute each time, I had pulled up my weather.com app and determined that the danger was either north or south of me and gone back to what I was doing. When they went off a couple of weeks ago, I saw the danger was headed right to me, so I got my *** in the bathroom and watched on my phone as the storm passed right over me, not that I needed that to know there was some pretty bad **** going on outside.

The only time they should interrupt is for tornado warnings. Everything else shouldn’t be on tv.

 

[RocketDawg]

Have you checked to see if they have regular network programming on a subchannel (over the air mostly ... might be on cable)?

Tornado warnings and hail.

WTVA up in North Mississippi was running commercials during their weather coverage today. Lol

Disagree. Severe thunderstorms can sometines do as much or more damage than a lower end tornado. Take the storm that hit Cullman, AL, last week. It was dropping 4”+ hail and that is a serious threat to life and property. They can also have winds at a minimum of 58mph and routinely up to 70 or more. So that’s basically category 1 hurricane winds.

Had there been a brief tornado touch down, rip a trailer to shreds and kill a child or family inside, and they NOT been on air, everyone would have blamed the weatherman. Lose/lose for them. Do their job and piss people off..... don't do their job and piss people off. Kinda like law enforcement.

That "30 second info" changes every few seconds. Science-n-****

Really, The Young and The Restless will be on Bravo in a couple of days.

So true. I pulled up a youtube of hte local weather the day of the Lousville tornado and remember as they had to keep shifting the areas affected due to the track of the tornado changing as it was turning left. They originally were saying it was going to go well south of Louisville until it made that left turn at Albuquerque.

How can we have a weather thread and not mention Merry Matthews on weather nation.

It doesn’t have to be raining outside to tune into a weather broadcast at my place of residence.

Breasts look bigger live.

Is that a helmet on her head? Elbows too pointy anyway.

Hey I know she isn’t Linda Cohn but it aint that bad.....

 

[RocketDawg]

None on the major networks. I watch live games that are on if I'm interested, otherwise it's History, Science, Smithsonian, or other similar channels. Repeats of Hitler and American Pickers are highly irritating though.

She's a bit chunky, don't ya think? Plus, she should move to The Weather Channel for greater exposure.

Nope, she is just right! Gorgeous!

Ok now I believe you
