Did Eboni seriously just say "contraband flow" instead of "contraflow"? If so, I have less respect for her broadcasting skills than I thought.
Yes, she did.

Alright, weather.com's now got a Gustav banner. :yes: Let's hope we're going to start seeing things here. If TWC doesn't go into Storm Alert, something is wrong with them.

We've got Cheryl Lemke and Dave Schwartz hosting WWC today. I'm surprised they've got Dave hosting this afternoon after he was on EEWC last night. I wonder who's going to cover the overnight shift tonight?

Maybe Paul and Alex will do regular EE while Adam and Kristin do the overnight coverage; they've done a setup like that in the past...

It seems that TWC has pulled all the ads from the BlueBox video player for Gustav coverage.

I wonder if Dave and Cheryl will go another hour or if another team will step in at the top of the hour...

Yes, that's exactly what you're hearing. My guess is that they're doing the playback a little less professionally than usual because of the unique setup tonight.

BTW, my friend, have you noticed that they've been using different lower thirds for the OCMs for the day two days or so; these L3s are more squared off on the right side, presumably to completely cover up the Gustav ticker so that there isn't a little corner of it sticking out when the L3s are on the screen.
The method they are recording is something called ISSAR, I dont remember what it stands for... Let me think on it... Basically they way they are recording it is the same way you record it at home (less the STAR). What's being recorded is the absolute last feed to leave the building.

I guess they wanted to name a hurricane in Dr. Lyons' honor.
