I didn't realize he was such a high profile celebrity.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion
« on: March 31, 2011, 03:53:54 PM »Hmm, with this snowstorm that will be developing in the NE, I wonder if TWC will preempt programming tonight...
Doubt it. They've been hyping this Peter Lik guy for weeks now. They didn't preempt last night when most of Florida was doused with rain and thunderstorms.
What we need this time of year is a large severe weather/tornado outbreak like what occurred last weekend for them to consider delaying his show from debuting. They could care less about a snowstorm.

General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch
« on: March 31, 2011, 03:49:45 PM »Really? We had to do that Feb. 28, when a giant storm blew threw Chattanooga during the afternoon. My only beef: we were told to stay in the classrooms - with GLASS WINDOWS - instead of going out into the hallway. The windows were flexing, the storm was so bad.
They obviously don't pay attention to severe weather awareness or they would know one of the first DON'Ts of tornado safety is that you shouldn't hide in rooms where there are windows because that's how you increase injuries/fatalities from open air debris or the glass itself if it shatters around you.

Test Video - All Weather Data Was Accurate At The Time Of This Recording.
Weather Data courtesy of www.weather.com (TWCi)
Everything is not exactly the way the real ETF was, but it's close enough.
Song featured in the video is "Real Life" by Ray Obiedo from his "Sticks & Stone" album which was a song that previously played in playlists on TWC in the 90's during the 4000 era.

It turns out this report of a large tornado was false. They got that information from a secondary source off of twitter instead of contacting the storm chaser who was observing the storm which is odd to me.

THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0603 PM CDT SAT MAR 26 2011
AREAS AFFECTED...NERN MS AND NRN AL
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 262303Z - 262330Z
A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED DURING THE EARLY EVENING ACROSS MAINLY NRN
AL.
LATE AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSES SHOWED AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAD
FORMED AND WAS TRACKING EWD INTO EXTREME NWRN AL ALONG A SURFACE
BOUNDARY WHICH EXTENDED E THEN SE AS A WARM FRONT INTO NRN TO ERN
AL. MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT TRAILING SWWD FROM THE AL LOW WAS
MOVING SLOWLY SWD THROUGH NERN-WEST CENTRAL MS. OF PARTICULAR
CONCERN FOR NEW TSTM DEVELOPMENT IS THE RECENT DESTABILIZATION OF
THE AIR MASS ACROSS NRN AL WHERE LATE DAY SURFACE HEATING/LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ADVECTION HAS OCCURRED AS SURFACE WINDS HAVE BECOME SSWLY
WITH THE NWD MOVEMENT OF THE WARM FRONT. OBJECTIVE ANALYSES
INDICATED THE WARM SECTOR IS MODERATELY UNSTABLE WITH MLCAPE
1000-2000 J/KG.
THE COVERAGE/INTENSITY...PER REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY...OF ELEVATED
TSTMS ONGOING FROM SRN MIDDLE TN TO FAR NRN MS SUGGESTS THE FORCING
FOR ASCENT ATTENDANT TO A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRACKING INTO THE OH
VALLEY/ENTRANCE REGION OF 70 KT WLY MIDLEVEL JET IS SUFFICIENTLY
STRONG. THUS...AS THIS FORCING PROGRESSES EWD ACROSS THE NRN EXTENT
OF THE WARM SECTOR...CELLS ALREADY DEVELOPING ALONG THE COLD FRONT
IN NERN MS AND THE WARM FRONT OVER NORTH CENTRAL AL SHOULD BECOME
MORE ROBUST. EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR AROUND 50 KT AND ENHANCED LOW
LEVEL SHEAR /EFFECTIVE SRH 200-300 M2 PER S2/ WILL SUPPORT
SUPERCELLS WITH AN ATTENDANT TORNADO AND LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL.

It may not break until after sunset, this is what the NWS office is saying for your area in their forecast discussion.

EXCEPT SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
DEVELOPING THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ANY
DECREASE IN INSTABILITY WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING IS
EXPECTED TO BE OFFSET BY THE APPROACH OF THE SURFACE LOW AFTER
SUNSET. THE SURFACE LOW WILL RIDE ALONG THE STALLED BOUNDARY FROM
THIS MORNING...MOVING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA.
THIS WILL KEEP THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY IN
THE NORTH...INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

I saw this last night and was gonna ask if that was the 3D studio they were using or just a chroma key wall either way there's nothing special about it and looks like another FAIL of wasted money.

I remember hearing this song play before too. I'm not sure if it was officially on the list, but I think I remember it playing in October '07 or sometime that year.
