Kind of early to advertise it, IMO. Still two weeks away. They didn't advertise Hurricane Week or WILS week until days before it started.

It is very early, and I do not appreciate them advertising this since that is the last nite of my summer lol. I will be in St Ignace at that time though.

I must say...I am most certainly looking forward to this week, even though they kinda announced it a week earlier than when they supposed to.

Do they honestly need all of these "weeks"?  :unsure: the duplicates of tornado week and hurricane week kinda bothered me, I don't think they shouldn't have done a tornado week in Feb when they were gonna do Vortex 2 3 months later and having 2 Hurricane weeks in less than a month's time was even more unnessecary.One of those two tornado and hurricane weeks could have been something else or spent on reporting weather like a weather netowrk is supposed to....  :rolleyes:

Theme weeks like this are perfectly fine - they drive viewership. And it's not like TWC is the only network to do theme weeks. Ever heard of Shark Week on Discovery?

But, at least they didn't really go into the previously scheduled "Back to School Week."

Well, you make a valid point there Tyler, but 2 Hurricane Weeks in less than a month is a bit much. If they are going for thiis theme, they should be able to come up with more ideas than this.

I saw a promo of Survival Week for Sept. 6 and they're gonna show the vortex2 tornado special. Yeah, the one we all may have seen a billion times this year.  :bleh:
