i heard a rumor that twc has quit Storm Alert for hurricanes

[TWCToday]

Maybe Martin can confirm if Storm Alert is indeed gone. The last time they went into Storm Alert was September 2008.

I haven't heard that its gone. I just think we haven't seen anything major enough to get the studio lights to red and the lf music going.

Remember that 2009 wasn't as active as predicted. 

Well it doesn't have to be an active season really. You just have to get that one big storm to make landfall. I have a feeling given the right storm TWC will still go into a full storm alert

African  storm may go out to sea if it does then we may have to wait another month to see if storm alert still exists

[weatherlover94]

i hope Storm Alert still exists 

[Zach]

You say you hope it still exists and you heard from a chat somewhere that it wasnt being used anymore?    Im lost

[weatherlover94]

It's better for you to wait. Don't continue to google for answers or wait for some of us to confirm. When a hurricane promotes danger to the US then that'll answer your question. 

[weatherlover94]

Agreed

[bergone]

Nah they still probably will.

I would be thoroughly shocked if TWC didn't have a Storm Alert anymore.  Frankly, these are supposed to be rare, or they completely lose their value to the public.  Just wait for the next major hurricane to make landfall over the United States like Ana said, and we'll all find out together.

Well the trend in media today is to make everything a BREAKING ALERT or something. I imagine if it was easy to do they would hit the red lights for every minor thing. I heard it takes a bit of work to get everything ready though so its not an easy switch

looking like danielle may bend back west we may find out real soon

It's still going to be a fish storm and hit Bermuda.

And even Bermuda is a stretch.

The main desk hasn't normally been red, has it? Because it is right now on WeekendNOW. So is the floor around it. Doesn't seem to be lit up at all and it looks like they're trying to hide it a bit.

[weatherlover94]

hey kev does that mean they may be testing the lights for storm alert if earl comes and there hiding that they are going to do it? or are you saying they are hiding that they are not going to do storm alert?
