Official Ike Storm Alert Thread

Right now only the 2005 SA Theme and its 2006 remix are playing. This hour, the 2005 theme is being used for the 2-minute LFs.

IMO, they should mix it up and use all four themes. Can they do that? I don't think it would be that difficult to have a four song playlist...

I like the new Storm Alert graphics.It gives lots of information.The radar shows all the maps.

Kim and Kevin are on now?!?

It was very surprising to me that TWC went into Storm Alert last night.

I was watching some of CNN's coverage, and that's all they had..was IKE IKE IKE

People act like a hurricane has never hit them before:rolleyes:

Kim and Kevin are on now?!?

Most likely they suspended Abrams and Bettes tonight.

And it looks like three days of rain for us in the Midwest, today and tomorrow from this system, and "torrential all-day rain" from Ike on Sunday.

[Spring Rubber]

Ugh. The rains here are going to suck come the start of the school week. It's been raining enough already!

Thanks to Puckguy, and a possible Mistake at 1:18pm at the Local Forecast, I now have the complete Storm Alert Music

I like the new music! So they use 2 different cuts of the music on the lf?

[Thecoolwriter]

I like that music, too.

What are you referring to?

Anyway, here's the new theme played on the 2-minute LF earlier today followed by the technical difficulties that Gary mentioned earlier, which was then followed by an alternate cut of the Storm Alert theme for the teaser and opener.

Wow, so Carl Parker is in the studio again while Betty and Sam, for the second Storm Alert in a row, were told to take a load off. Surely that says something about what TWC thinks of their pairing...

I don't think Betty and Sam are a very good pairing. IMO, they don't seem to work well together. But I also still don't understand the weird schedule for Storm Alert? Why were Kevin and Kim, the Weekend Now crew, doing PM Edition?

[tpirfan28]

I bet I'll see Dave/Jen in the morning...or is Jeff not in the field?

Carl Parker mentioned about 10 minutes ago for us to blog with him tonight (http://www.weather.com/blog/weather/8_17183.html?from=tv_welc_relatedcontentleft) - and that comments/questions posted may be featured on air tonight. For the heck of it I left a comment there, and I'm very curious to see if it actually does get featured on air tonight.
