General Discussion / 20th Anniversary of the Superstorm/Blizzard of 1993
« on: March 12, 2013, 06:24:13 PM »
Today's date, as well as tomorrow's, marks the 20-year anniversary of the Superstorm of 1993, (A.K.A. "Storm of the Century") which spawned severe weather and tornadoes in Florida, strong winds caused a deadly storm surge in the big bend area of NW Florida, and you know the rest - heavy snowfall and blizzard conditions in the south and up the east coast. Birmingham, Atlanta, Chattanooga, and everywhere in between were paralyzed by the storm and it continued up the east coast and into the northeast and new england. Please share your own thoughts and memories about this storm.

Here is an overview of the event from The Weather Channel:

Like Andy, I'm really looking forward to spring and summer now that the days are getting longer, but I wish I didn't have to lose an hour of sleep  :(
Just go to bed an hour early. That's what I do. :)

Sorry for the back-to-back posts. I know it's annoying. :wall:

Happy meteorological spring! Looking forward to skipping over to the Front Porch in a few weeks.  :thrilled:
I am looking forward to switching to the Front Porch in less than two week, as well.  :thrilled: :happy:

Looks like the 2 Minute LF return was just another rumor  <_<
Well, I hope it becomes a reality again. I doubt it will, though. <_<

BUMP

A few SC members at American WX forums have mentioned that they have seen Jeff Morrow working on the weekends at WYFF-TV in Greenville, SC. They said he's just a fill-in, but IDK.

Just thought I would mention it for those wondering where he's been since his departure from TWC.
Well, thanks for letting us know.  :thumbsup:

I wonder about this "Hacking the Planet". I think they are going to show us how to control the weather.  :rolleyes: How to stop hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.  :rofl2:

Awesome! I was sad to hear of Jim's firing around Christmas, so this is great news!
Jim's firing??!! :ninja: :no: :o :(  :cry: Sorry to double post, BTW.

Don't worry, I wasn't talking about Cantore. :) Jim Flowers was the Chief Meteorologist at WOWT for many years. Before that he worked for many years at KETV (our ABC affiliate). So he was one of my local TV forecasters since I was a kid. He was fired at the end of last year under mysterious circumstances.
Oh, that is such a relief. :happy: :thumbsup: :)

TWC HAS had anchors do the forecast who don't have certificates in meteorology before. :yes: Examples include Marshall Seese, Dave Schwartz, Kristin Dodd, and Jeanetta Jones (the first three which eventually received their certificates during their last few years at TWC).
What about Danielle Banks, is she certified?

NOAA Weather Radio does not sound a loud alarm when a tornado warning is issued for your area.

Centreville, AL always had me confused, for their identifier was CKL.........
That radar is not there, anymore.
