To all seniors starting this year...of course this year will fly off super duper fast. Just wanted to say good luck applying for college (if you plan to go to college next fall), and enjoy every last moment in high school, because all those moments you spent will be cherished forever.  Good luck!

Plus it was on TMZ, and having TWC mentioned on TMZ is not something you see very often.

Unless they're talking about swizzle sticks.

That too.

Surprised this hasn't made it here. 

EDIT: Please do not change the topic title.

I saw it yesterday, I was like O_O. I totally lost respect for this guy.

Which one? Alex Wallace or Al Roker?

  Al...I was completely referring to Al.

Ana looks to be coming back to life soon.  Notice how the convection has exploded over the past 24 hours, the core of Ana isn't even over water right now, I don't think we should let our guard down on her yet. The fact that she got as far west into the Atlantic as she did says something.

EDIT: If Ana comes back to life will she be "Ana" or the "D" name storm?

I've been hearing everywhere, even TWC that it's possible that my name wont be used anymore. It's "the storm formely known as 'Ana'" There is a possibility that Danny (the next name) will be named instead of me. But that's just my guess.

Texas has always been an neglected state by TWC

Which leads me to ask a question about regions (please forgive me, this is a little lengthy ):

Does anyone else think that TWC concentrates heavily on the Northeast? Not to be rude to all of our members in the NE, but to me it seems like TWC talks most about the NE and has the most special reports/graphics for the NE. For example, why was Mike Seidel sent to do a field report for just one day of warm weather?

Now I am surprised that TWC isn't Southeast-crazy since their headquarters, Atlanta, is in the SE. But I guess since two major cities, NYC and Washington, DC, are in the NE region, TWC wants to be certain to cover those two cities. Who knows, maybe most of TWC's viewers come from the NE...I guess it's all about ratings.

Now maybe I am exaggerating. TWC might even talk most about the Midwest. What is certain, though, is that (IMO) they don't talk equally about all four regions and especially neglect the West (sorry Ana, Derek, and all of our other members who live in the West ). They also, like Al said, neglect certain states.

I noticed that too (and you dont have to be sorry about that!). They seem to not talk too much about the West (especially California)..unless there is a special weather event such as a wildfire or a severe rainstorm.

at the 1:10 PDT segment of PM Edition, they were doing a report on the severe weather in Texas, and all of the sudden it all went black...then 5 seconds later Trammel played, and went into commercial early at 1:13 PM PDT.

They also need to let go of my "ex-storm" already, too. They are treating it as if my storm is still a tropical depression.
