Since it's April now, we should expect promos soon... now that Mike is starting to mention Vortex2 on air.

You can really tell they are using a cellular connection with their video. Sounds and looks like crap. No live streams either. Booo

Haha. Its stupid to expect them to use nothing but cellular service in the middle of nowhere. Wish TWC had just used a satellite truck

Kyle Smith Has posted an update on Facebook  :dance:

Vortex 2 update: Management finally realized that the mobile 3G streaming solution was not a good idea. (Remember when we called this back in April?) Nonetheless – the Bloomobile is BACK! Starting this morning LIVE streaming from the SUV while on the road! Watch all day long on http://www.weather.com/vortex and check for updates on Twitter!

Good, because the bloomobile's quality was bad enough. Cell phone streaming was horrible.

There are a few nice supercells with tornado warnings along the OK/KS border right now.  Hope the Vortex2 team is around them now.
