Wow, came alot earlier than I thought it would!

Yeah, it surely did!

Why the <blank> is there a Forecast Earth brief on right now?

[toxictwister00]

It's like they're in SA but they're not, maybe it'll ramp up by the time EE starts.

Should TWC be in Storm Alert?

[Thecoolwriter]

They are in Storm Alert

[Localonthe8s]

Can I make a new poll regarding storm alert lf music?

[Spring Rubber]

It guess this shouldn't be much of a surprise since history tends to repeat itself. Gustav served as a sort of "Katrina" in terms of generating the hurricane hype; now Ike is sort of a Rita with the same projected landfall day and time (early morning Saturday). What did they do for Rita? They went into Storm Alert at 9 PM Thursday night; this is pretty much the same thing, just two hours earlier because A&B wasn't around back in 2005.

Just saw a new Storm Alert "reopen." (remember the one for Gustav that said "Gulf Coast Prepares," etc?). Well, it was like that, but a lot nicer.

I had the right show just the wrong day. This thing is a beast! TS winds extend out 510 miles, that's 70% larger than a normal hurricane!

lol

275miles for TS, 110miles for Hurricane winds

Should TWC be in Storm Alert?

The answer isn't yes.

[Spring Rubber]

OMG, the desk is red! That was my idea!

[Thecoolwriter]

I know, I was saying the same thing. (That wasn't my idea, I was talking about the desk being red, too.)

[Spring Rubber]

They've also got the Storm Alert logo on the TWC website for this one. They're making a much bigger deal out of Ike than they did with Gustav.

Still regular LF music.

I never liked having storm alert music on the LF. IMO, that's going too far, and you're hearing nothing but two songs on the LF for a day or longer. I'd rather hear regular music.
