That thing is a monster! I took some snapshots from the ustream link. In every picture it gets bigger and bigger.

Also in reference to the Cullman, AL tornado. I heard it ripped a water tower out of the ground and tossed it. That's quite amazing! I hope everyone in AL is staying safe and keeping an eye out on these supercells if they haven't been hit yet. It's getting down right ugly there and every cell w/ a warning is tornado warned that's insane! The high risk is definitely validating in that area.

Greg Forbes has as a 10 on TOR:CON for northern Alabama. Snow Maniac, you better watch out you have and 8 for the Atlanta metro area. Stay safe.

Thanks Donovan I am, here comes another sleepless night for me. The weather here now is reminding me of how it was April 4th with the severe weather we had then except this time around it's supercells and not a line.
Also an 8 is the the highest I have ever seen Dr. Forbes give us which makes me more concerned.

Tornado Emergency now for Tuscaloosa...large tornado headed straight for Tuscaloosa and Jasper. I hope Tiffany is safe!!

Dang, Tuscaloosa can't seem to catch a break.

Nothing that impressive, but this is how I'd like to see a chroma key used!

That looks pretty cool and more realistic than how TWC is actually using the 3D technology. They're using it more like it's a chroma key wall than 3D to me.

As I suspected all after-school activities were cancelled today due to the expected tornadic weather. It feels very tropical today, more mid June weather, low 80's and very gusty winds and it's partly to mostly cloudy atm.

Also this was taken as a tornado developed live on the air in Cullman, AL

The SPC has upgraded my area to a MODERATE risk today. NW GA to AL to MS is under a HIGH risk. Everyone who is expected to see severe weather today or tomorrow please stay safe!

Yes, in the most recent clip she does look more like how she did at TWC.

I think both clips were recorded on the same day because she's wearing the same red dress, but still she looks the same to me in both anyway.

Anybody recall the deal with this goofup? It occurred on May 4, 2010. I don't believe I caught the whole thing, only portions of it. I think there was more prior to when I turned it on TWC.

Party likes its 1999!!



TWC looks too much like the evening weather forecast now to me.

Party like it's 1999? Those God awful graphics should have never left 1999.

You know something I don't understand? Why is it that every single severe wx event this month wants to keep coming in after midnight here? It's bad enough you can't see what's going on because you're trying to get some sleep, but it's worse when every event has had a tornado threat with it.

I'm not sure what any of you are seeing, but she looks no different at CNN than she did at TWC.

Yesterday during WV, the Weekly Planner temp maps read "-'S FORECAST" and the all the temps except 70's were 0's.

That sure does happen a lot.

Santos yesterday during WN pardoned the viewers for the messed up graphics and he wasnt sure why.. on a related note to that, he made reference to Viz a lot yesterday

Graphics said it was going to be in the zero's all over the country. Better get out the winter coats again lol

Ah darn and I just started wearing shorts again today.
