Would anyone be interested in reading a TWC blog if I started one?

Hurricane Bertha from 1996 or Hurricane Bertha from 2008?

Local Forecast / Satellite LF Thunderstorm Forecast

Does the satellite LF (either SD or HD) ever show any colors painted on the map other than orange (thunderstorms) or red (severe possible). For example, has white (greatest risk) ever appeared on the map?

Why is it that sometimes during the Weekly Planner, they use the "rounded" maps, but other times they use the more "traditional" types of maps?

It just aired again. Were you watching?

BTW, I can get an SD video off the DVR buffer if it's still working.

Airing at 8:10 PM ET? If that was it, then, yes, I saw it.

At 6:10 PM CT, they played the Storm Alert: Hurricane Bertha opener.

Now we know that the Storm Alert theme music uses a warped version of the normal Tropical Update signature designed to sound more "disastrous" along with a darker sounding theme overall.

The "Storm Alert" text is even more obscure than the previous package; it only appears inside the text that flies around at the start of the opener, but the hurricane's name is in red instead of yellow.

Got a video of it?

At the beginning of PME at 5 PM ET, there was a bit of confusion of who would do the live teasers.

(whispering at beginning of show)
Sam: I'll go.
Betty: OK.
(teasers start)

because they didn't want to leave the cat alone for all that time. 

Can't you just board your cat at the Vet? That's what we always do and we've never had a problem.

See the problem with that is our cat hates the vet with a passion. She hates other cats, and causes nothing but trouble at the vets. We always wind up with lots of scratches and bite marks when the cat goes to the vets.

They just now played the old stream station ID. That's not HD is it? I wouldn't think it would be; it's at least two plus years old now.

And Adam said that he just wants it to be Monday again so he could get his "weekend." He commented that "just about everyone in the country knows I have Monday and Tuesday off."

We finally know the name of the "other" Adam that Jim seems to mention nightly during EE. Adam Dean.
