If anything, I would have expected them coming on the air this morning instead of in the afternoon, but oh well.
I see back at home in Chicago, there's significant flooding after 7 inches of rain fell due to a stalled out cold front and training storms. It has now become a secondary story on TWC next to Ike; in a way, it's pretty cool seeing my hometown on TWC with all of the red STORM ALERT graphics; indeed, the situation almost merits it. >_<
Here in Bloomington, IL, we're slated to get possibly 6 inches of rain from Ike tomorrow. That's not going to be fun. >_<

They did it in 2005 for a few hurricanes. Still, that was because landfall was imminent; I don't think this scenario merits having them on.

It looks like the edit notices are gone from the bottom of edited posts. Can we get those back?

Adam is now at the desk with Rich; maybe they finally decided to give in and do what they should have done in the first place.
EDIT: Nope, now they've got Paul doing the update at the projector wall, and his voice is almost completely gone. He needs to go home while Rich and Adam take it from here.

Why won't they just let Adam host the show? He's there, but apparently the powers that be don't want him to be at the forefront of their coverage.

Dr. Lyons just said, "Back to you, Paul, Alexandra." I guess he works by word association.

I wonder if Adam is getting the "rookie" treatment and not being considered high-ranking enough to cover a landfall. If so, that's kind of a shame. Rich is probably being saved for the next hour.
No, Mike Seidel is not in HD. I think they currently only have one or two HD trucks/uplinks available.

Yeah, it seems like all this hurricane coverage is wearing on him...

I don't believe Paul and Sharon have worked together on the air since Sharon started doing EEWC in 2006; before that Sharon used to be a primary fill-in on the big EE show, of course.
IMO, Jim is getting angry out there more than ever before. Does he not care about his public reputation the way he used to? He doesn't seem himself out there. Normally he's happy when he's out in the field...

Jim seems to be more dramatic this year compared to years past. Is Jim getting agitated or something?

There's discussion about this in the "New Schedule to come June 2nd" thread under Programming. It was supposed to start last week, but Hanna prevented that. Now Ike is doing the same this weekend. It's quite reminiscent of what Ophelia and Rita did to Weekend View in 2005, pushing that debut back two weeks.
