Well TWC could've ran 1 minute lfs at :08 and :18. They've done it before even with Katrina.

That's bullshit Vic. I'm sorry.

So its unnacceptable for them to skip your local forecast to deal with Gustav? How self-centered of you.
Not all of the 48 states are affected by this...

They could use their fancy dual-feed thingy, and skip locals there, but I want my LF.

No, but its far more important than your weather, which you can get from WxScan, or any of a million other avenues.

No. People around the country are interested in Gustav, not just people on the Gulf Coast. Are you not aware that people in other parts of the country have interest or family connections in the gulf coast?

Granted, it's an important/dangerous situation, but it hardly constitutes skipping the LF for EVERYONE in the country. Like I said, they could use their dual-feed. :yes: Besides, what's 12 minutes out of an hour's worth of programming? :dunno:

Also, I noticed the Storm Alert music is different than the one I remember. Did they change it?. :huh:

They must have changed it since 2005 then, cause I remember it being A LOT different when they were playing it for Katrina.

I liked the old one better. :(

Yeah, the 2005 one had much more of a "hurricane" feel to it. the 2006-present music doesn't sound like hurricane music to me.

It's a shame your so selfish. You really ought to be ashamed of yourself for putting yourself before alot of other people who appreciate what TWC is doing.

Yeah they had two in 2006-2007. It looks like they are only using the one theme from that year now. I was hoping they'd use new music this season though. The music they are using on the LF doesn't match with the current storm alert/hurricane opener music at all.

Nope, they are indeed using both of the 2006 Storm Alert LF themes this year.

Again, what's 12 minutes out of an hour...I'm focusing on the logical aspect, not personal.

What's funny, an hour or 2 ago, Mike Bettes was reporting, and said the maximum wind gust that he recorded was 40 MPH.  :rofl2: But who knows, It could have increased dramatically since then. I'm really not following closely. :yes:
