I assume you mean Mike Bettes. Last night, the winds he encountered peaked to 69 mph.

I was up til about 3 AM CDT, and during the 2AM hour of their coverage, they went to Jorma Duran, and there was no audio.  After (Adam?) said, that they were having a few technical dificulties, Jorma looked pissed, it looked like he stomped off, and was yelling.  It was actually fun

Yeah, Mike Bettes is the one that I was talking about.
I knew that Mike Seidel was covering it too.

I guess they are winding down their Storm Alert mode. It is a minimal hurricane at this point. I'd be surprised if they are still in Alert Mode around the time of EE.

Adam is now at the desk with Rich; maybe they finally decided to give in and do what they should have done in the first place.

EDIT: Nope, now they've got Paul doing the update at the projector wall, and his voice is almost completely gone. He needs to go home while Rich and Adam take it from here.

Poor Paul. :( So what time did they finally let him go home? And how many hours did he work that night? I wonder if he'll be on again tonight. :dunno: Sure hope not. He probably has no voice now.

It's not all that unusual. They've done the afternoon shift in Storm Alert for past hurricanes. ;)
