I think Alex is plenty tired of it by now since it's so unnecessary at this point. My guess is that it's over after this hour, though.

I agree. My guess that it will be over by midnight eastern. I wonder if Rich and Sharon will go live all night for EEWC?

I'd have to wonder that as well since TWC obviously wants to be on top of this storm. I'm surprised they were so slow to cover it initially, yet now they've gone all out on it after it made landfall. Is the TWC Tropical hype machine from 2005/2006 back again?

This is getting silly now; there's no reason to be in Storm Alert this long. Katrina's Storm Alert even ended by like 7 PM CT on the day it made landfall.

...and because of that we get the Weekly Planner starting with the Jet Stream. :P

Now he just accidentally passed up Wednesday, so he ran over to the computer and restarted the Viz presentation.

Tonight during the EE teasers Alex said this:

"Tonight we DIVE into Hanna, Ike, and Josephine."

Have Alexandra Steele and Adam Berg ever worked together? :P

Again as usual on Weather Center, they used bumper music for the openers most of the hours instead of the actual opener music, but the one neat benefit is that since they had a really long teaser, they played about 55 seconds of the "hard" theme music straight. (everything except the opener had voiceover, but it still gives us an idea of how the theme sounds as a whole.)

BTW, when I say "hard", there are two main bumper tracks that are used for WC; one is the normal one that's associated with the opener; then there's this "hard" one that uses most of the same notes but with a more intense feel to it. Video to come shortly.
