Wunderground's radars are better than the NWS's!

Aesthetically, yes. In terms of the actual radar, they're the same.
Well yeah, true.

Wunderground has an amazing archive though. You can literally go back years and pick any day or time and see the radar imagery for your area. Very cool

I would be thoroughly shocked if TWC didn't have a Storm Alert anymore. Frankly, these are supposed to be rare, or they completely lose their value to the public. Just wait for the next major hurricane to make landfall over the United States like Ana said, and we'll all find out together.

Well the trend in media today is to make everything a BREAKING ALERT or something. I imagine if it was easy to do they would hit the red lights for every minor thing. I heard it takes a bit of work to get everything ready though so its not an easy switch

We will almost certainly be switching hosts within a week or so. I will make a more formal announcement later but there will be some downtime as we transfer services and backup everything.

Modems shouldnt go down unless theres an absense of lights to them or if one of the lights is blinking that shouldnt be
What you said is close to what my modem does. When it messes up, the modem logo on my router flashes. Then I have to unplug it. But it reboots all by itself sometimes. I need to get a new modem soon. All the lights stop blinking, they're just static. First, the light that is for power is the only one that is on. Then, all four lights are static. Then they go back to blinking per normal. The modem is close to dieing. WOW! might have some new modems that I want.

Brand? When all the lights come on at once thats a standard startup test procedure. Have you ISP reset the modem

They won't lay him off.. heck, NBC won't even give him a break!

and neither is Stephanie Abrams. She hasn't had a break afaik.
Tell me about it. She is always live somewhere, filling in for Al on TODAY, or taping shows. She seems like a gal who likes what she does, though.
