Someone at TWC must've been in a good mood today.

Oh Danny boy, you fought you fought but didn't make it...
From top to bottom, you were disorganized
It's peak season but you are now extratropical.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion
« on: August 29, 2009, 08:34:06 PM »Looks like Twc has time to kill, they have been playing 100 biggest weather moments: weather breakthroughs throughout WN todayIt sounds like TWC was expecting to have more Danny coverage today, but those plans got thrown out when NHC declared that Danny was no longer tropical.
Ha! TWC finally loses in their "overexcitement" on the tropics!
Although, I am surprised TWC still didn't cover Danny because it still might be this major threat. (yeah, right
)
