Wait, they're playing more than one Storm Alert theme? :huh:

So its unnacceptable for them to skip your local forecast to deal with Gustav? How self-centered of you.
Believe it or not, 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.

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:

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.
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:

The bad side of the hurricane hasn't reached land yet.

One side is stronger than the other? I always thought the strength of a Hurricane was always evenly distributed.

Just goes to show how much I know about Tropical Weather. :rofl2:

Nope. The worst part of the storm is on the back end of the eye. It's always worse after the eye than before.

How long will the storm alert music on the lf last for?

If my mind serves me right, last time for Ernesto it was for 2 days.

I would expect it to last until Gustav looses hurricane status.

Now would be the perfect time for them to figure out a :30 Local again.

CC/Radar/(Daypart)Forecast/Week Ahead.

Boom.  There it is.  They can piggyback it after a segment.

A Wind Advisory crawl is currently running on my IntelliStar, and all "C"s on the crawl were replaced with small "6"s.

The Intellistar doesn't use the same dated technology to generate the graphi6s as the 4000 does; I wouldn't expe6t it to suffer nearly the same problems as the 4000.
