There's been 2 today due to a collapsed tree (In the UK).
Anyhow today has been really unsettled as the remains of Gonzalo passed over us. Heavy Rain - check. Strong Wind - Check. Less weather savvy friends claiming where in a hurricane when where actually probably not even in a tropical depression - Check. Thunderstorms... Ahh, I knew there was something missing.

Because you too can tweet the weather in your area using #ItsAmazingOutThere, hopefully it's a temporary thing. Why would they remove the clock?

I know that accuweather forecasts can often be wrong, but the Migraine forecast might actually be usefull

Local on the 8s is celebrating #1 Boss Day. What is up with the pointless holidays thing?

The weather channel, where everyday's a holiday.

Also has anyone noticed the new SWC tone, or rather one very low un-attention grabbing tone followed by Cantore's voice?

I suppose so, It definitely the first non-us weather event I've seen TWC forecasting

TWC seem to be taking a good interest in Typhoon Hudhud, even forecasting it...
Oh well, it seems to be the only exciting weather event right now.

Well this could be interesting. The article says that the TV network could be sold separately from the weather data side of the business. I wonder what this means.

Maybe the weather channel could become a franchise...
When the UK had it's own weather channel (Yep, we did, with British OCM's and forecasts the lot) it was a franchise, the station wasn't produced by NBC or back then TWC itself, but the IPW, the commercial arm of the Met Office.
I need to do more research into the UK version. Apparently it too was meant to have local forecasts. Not quite sure how that would work as it was a satellite service... Plus we only have 3 or 4 cable providers nationally...

Oh well...
