Been trying to find a place to listen to/purchase "Amanda's World", which was ID'd as the "Unknown 1992 BTF" music.

Not on itunes or amazon. Could buy an old CD off ebay, but would prefer not to.

Possible derecho situation coming together over northern Illinois moving eastward into Indiana this evening.

Widespread damaging winds and significant gusts to 80 MPH likely!

Could this line hold together overnight?

Everything Else Classic TWC / Out of Harms Way II

« on: January 17, 2014, 10:10:48 PM »

I posted this many years ago with no luck, but there was a TWC video made around 1990 in partnership with the American Red Cross called "Out of Harm's Way II" that I recall airing on a local public access station several times.

The video featured Marshall Seese and featured a lot of the animation used on TWC at that time regarding weather preparedness during flash floods, tornadoes etc.

I've had no luck finding it. But if someone did, it would be a nice collectible.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Playlist Question

« on: June 12, 2011, 06:22:15 PM »

I've found several LF videos on YouTube featuring songs not listed here on either the "Official" or "Other" playlist. 

For example, "Beverly Hills" by Guitar Workshop in LA is not on either list. It was featured in 1989. 

If you want, I can post a list of the songs.  Just thought it would make the song listing more accurate.

Thanks.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Looking for "Out of Harm's Way" video

« on: May 07, 2011, 07:35:28 PM »

In 1990, the Red Cross and TWC joined forces to create a weather awareness video called "Out of Harm's Way."

The video is a treasure trove of TWC technology and graphics from 1989-90. Marshall Seese hosted the video.  There were segments such as "Flash Floods" and "Tornadoes" that featured maps of where these events commonly occur and then delved into what to do.  It had very cool music and animations.  Some of these animations were used in other TWC promos, such as the 1993 severe weather promo.

I have been attempting to find it.  There is a copy in the NJ state library, apparently.  I just thought I would post this in case anyone stumbles upon it.  It would air on a local public access station in my area in the 90's.  I think it would be an excellent find!

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Timeline

TWC debuted new maps today. I guess that is significant to include on the timeline.

Also, I believe February 2, 1998 should be added because that is when TWC started to debut new maps and graphics and I think when the "Weather Center" name debuted.
