Interesting; Jim Cantore basically just touted this storm as "a fun time".

...and he only held that position for less than four months when he was offered the Road Crew spot.

Before 2006, it always used to be used for all cat 3+ storms and strong cat 2 storms, but that changed in 2006 when they decided to start hyping minor tropical storms. I have a feeling that they may have gone back to the pre-2006 criteria, though.

And right now they finally got the satellite uplink to Mike back after t'storms in the Atlanta area blocked the signal.

I wonder who is going to host A&B with Steph because I can't imagine them doing a solo shift in this situation. Also, for the overnight, will they just do a four hour EEWC and a four hour FO to get through the night as opposed to getting another OCM shift in there, or perhaps regular EE will be three hours followed by a three hour EEWC?

It seems like TWC is actually downplaying this compared to normal... Just because it isn't striking Florida or a major city?

Now they've thrown the Projected Path into the loop for the corner inset as well.

For a second there, they switched over to the radar in the corner instead of the satellite, but then they switched back.

They've now moved into doing the "You're watching The Weather Channel, Your Hurricane Authority" bumper at the top of every hour.

They used hard rock for the teaser at the top of this hour. That's different.

« on: July 22, 2008, 02:53:51 AM »Alex Wallace anyone?No way; he's not experienced enough for a high profile job yet.
It's such a shame to see Marshall go so soon; I honestly didn't expect him to go HD and then hang it up less than six months later. Oh well, at least he got to be there for it. As for a replacement, I really think Bill would be the best choice, but then what would you do with Weekend View? Perhaps hire some new talent for that spot?
