It sounds a lot like "The Sound of Philadelphia" by MFSB is playing in this Comcast ad, for some reason 

Comcast Soul Train Ad

That song was the original theme song to the show Soul Train advertised in that Comcast ad.

I remember how some of you said that the strip of the blue LDL disappeared when something like a Tornado Watch was issued since the new LDL debuted. Well I'm under my first Tornado Watch since that new LDL debuted and so far nothing seems to be wrong with the blue LDL on my end.

Notice that the "Now" tab is missing and it seems the STAR Team fixed the issue.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Now tab, but that's been fixed as well.

EDIT: When Summer Comes by George Howard just played on my IntelliStar!  Samantha Mohr came on with a dual severe wx update.

At least no one died yet

Sadly, four people have died so far due to this severe weather outbreak.

Actually it's 9 now. 

Update: Death Toll is 10. (2 are children)

I hope all residents in that area heeded the warning and took shelter before that tornado hit, It's already being estimated to be an EF4 as wide as 1 mile. I'm been given a saving grace, There are no tornado Watches issued for my area or my state for that matter yet....

What a nasty event going on 800 miles to my south. All I can do is hope I get something like it later this year. I see Dr. Forbes is a bit concerned about what is going on in "Yah-zoo City" (not Yaz-oo), and I can see his point. Must be a nasty tornado down there.

He compared it to the Greensburg, KS Tornado back in 2007, he even said looking at it on radar made me him sick, so you know that's bad.

And Early Weekend View.
