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.
IMO, it just isn't Storm Alert without the local forecast music; it adds a certain amount of drama and importance to the storm coverage.

Agreed. And we ARE talking about a catastrophic storm here, so I think it would be justified.

Ike is looking a little bit more organized the past few hours on the IR satellite loop. Will be interesting to see if the wind speeds pick up at all within the next 12 hours...

,,,it looks like Rich Johnson and Adam Berg Berg (according to the lower third) agree with me...

I think they yanked it from the playlist after only one or two hours.
