Yup, it is. But, official report from NWS says no sign of tornado, not even on the radar. But I seriously thought there was one once I looked outside.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Marshall Seese to retire in November
« on: July 24, 2008, 10:56:45 PM »
sad news. I LOVE MARSHALL AND HEATHER! I'd love to see Carl and Heather pair up for YWT. Who ever is the replacement, they've gotta be good. I don't want to see Mancuso on. Like SR said, this isn't a point in his career where this promotion should happen.Good luck to Marshall though

WOW!! WHAT A HORRIBLE WEEK.
If you even noticed I hadn't been around the past few days, it's because I've been without power since 5 AM Monday, and it's been hell. I woke up around 5 monday, because there was the threat for early morning storms. I woke up, and no sooner did I wake up, like 5 minutes later, if that, the power went out.
I looked out side, the sky was green and the rain was blinding, and the wind, Oh my gosh I've never seen anything like it before!! I hear sirens, and start getting pretty excited, and I look out the window, and can't see a thing, so I have no clue whats going on. All the sudden I hear a big snap, and a couple booms. Around 6:30 it all calms down.
I look outside, there are like 3 huge branches in my yard, a tree down in the middle of the streen, and a huge tree in my neighbors yard. It looked like a tornado tore threw. I saw a stick STICKING UP from the ground. I never seen a thing like it before.
Turns out it was a derecho, and the wind at the airport (which is like 5 minutes driving distance from my house) was 94 miles per hour! It was crazy. My area got hit the hardest. A major road was shut down. I took a few pics, and I'll post them when I get a chance. But wow, it was the most interesting weather event I had been threw in my life!!
I work in a different city, and we have had record days this whole week, because no body has had electricity til today. ITS CRAZY!!
But, my family, and neighbors made it out okay. I definitely have A LOT more appreciation for electricity

« on: July 19, 2008, 12:17:55 PM »
Here is a little video I found of Sarah before she came to The Weather Channel from KLFY-TV in Lafeyette, LA. It's funny, because I was searching for KLFY (the cheif meteorologist that replaced the LONG time, 22 year meteorologist at the NBC afilliate here, came from there, and the weekend meteorologist form the ABC afilliate here went there the same year Sarah left) anyway, after that long story..
We find out that she drive/drove a truck. She isn't in there til half way through.

If he's not sick, than maybe he went through a second puberty .

Everything Else TWC / Re: Show Ratings
« on: July 17, 2008, 02:42:56 AM »
The first two don't surprise me. I would have expected Evening Edition to have more viewers than PM Edition, but I guess it kind of makes sence that more people are getting settled down and watching TV around PME time..
I'm surprised at AB's ratings as well. I would expect them to be much higher than that. But, as mentioned earlier, they do have a lot against them.

(Notice-- it's hard to read, but it has bad words in it, so I covered it up..but you'll be able to tell)
LOL. Did you take a picture of your computer screen? Wouldn't it be easier to take a screenshot? You know, that "PrtScn" key.

Umm.. I found that as part of "bumper sticker" on facebook... haha

I watch reality.. Tila Tequila-- im a FANATIC, Bachelorette/Bachelor, Wipe out, America's Got Talent, THE NEWS, and I have a weakness of the Disney Channel show: Phineas and Ferb. I think that show is HILARIOUS. I also watch Nick at Nite, specifically Home Improvement , George Lopez, and Fresh Prince.

Haha, sorry, I would, but... I have no way of doing so. I just got home and checked the channel, and it's back to broadcasting more local stuff. But it was very interesting...

OCMs & Personalities / Kelly Cass
« on: July 13, 2008, 09:25:55 AM »
Now, I've not been a HUGE fan of Kelly, every since, well, she started dressing odd, and was horrible to look at on TV. The past couple times I've turned on TWC, and watched her, I actually enjoyed her on-air performence. She isn't dressing like she used to, doesn't seem to wear 3 pounds of make-up, and is not wearing the stripper boots.
And her performence isn't all that bad. She keeps me interested. This is odd that I am saying I actually enjoy Kelly Cass.
