storm alert was officially over sept 13 2008 at 6 pm (forever) that was the last time we will ever see storm alert on twc  :(
shut up
Dr. Greg Forbes: Apparently we don't go into Storm Alert mode anymore.
Do you really think he knows how you define storm alert? Red lights and different local forecast music or extra coverage?

And you don't need to say that. Its already been said and if its been beaten to death, contributing to this topic with that post is not helping


Yep Zach you got my point exactly :yes:

i see it possible that they may go into full storm alert mode for Hermine because it could become a hurricane...i dont think they are going to wait for a cat 3 or greater because this is the first relatively strong tropical system to make a us landfall since ike in 08 (if it does still exist) :yes:

I wouldn't count on it, so don't get your hopes too high ;).

I am still not comprehending the fuss over Storm Alert :unsure:  TWC's tropical weather coverage has been great without Storm Alert.

You just had a Cat4 threaten the east coast and they didn't do it. Hermine is a weak pathetic storm. Good luck getting TWC to even really cover it. And that storm has little to no chance of being a hurricane upon landfall

I'm skeptical about that, I tend to monitor storms like Hermine since they could easily pull a "Humberto" on us.  It looks stronger than a 50mph tropical storm as the NHC is saying.
