AccuWeather's Audio feed has been fixed, but it still is crap. it just feels rushed and since the feed is national unlike TWC which was local they run around from city to city. You pretty much have to wait 15 minutes for your city's 5 seconds of weather. The main reason I don't like AccuWeather is that is does't give my city's weather. I live in Bradenton but it only gives the weather for Miami and Tampa. They spend too much of their time focusing on the upper half of the USA. Ever since Verizon dropped TWC i have been using the TWC app to get my weather becasue AccuWeather is not worth my time. I really hope Verizon and TWC come to an agreement.
Why FiOS? WWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYY?!??!?! :(

Well, this is... odd.

"With the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina looming and a total of nine named storms expected this season by The Weather Channel, Verizon is prepared to help consumers weather any storm and stay connected."
