TWC is just getting comical

#1 Postby seahawkjd » Sat Aug 28, 2004 1:04 pm

Not two hours ago I watched a TWC report of how much rain NC had had and how another tropical storm could cause lots of problems with flooding. Just now they did a report of how we really needed rain because we were running a defecit for the year. We may be, but we've had almost a foot this month already!!!!!

Rare extreme rant on:

Getting to the point that it's not even comical anymore..just damn sad. Too many people are forced to rely on their now farce of an attempt at what was once an outstanding service for the public. A few of their mets are or have the potential for being fantastic...too bad the overall picture ruins it.

Rant off

We used to sit at NHC website, hitting refresh every minute after an advisory was due out until we got it. Now we come here, usually someone posts the advisories about 10 minutes BEFORE they're due out. We have to watch Frances close, we did ok through Charley, but all our family down in Palm Beach could end up on our couch!

This is precisely the reason for S2K, when you want information , this is where to get it. :) :)

yes, this site has the advisories out good and on time. Another great site with the advisories is wunderground.com. But this site is better because it has all the data and models.

Yep TWC really does suck, after a great run. However, if they would send Sharon Resultan out for face time on the beach instead of MS or JC, I may tune them back in. lol

My husband watches TWC, but not for weather info. I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with Kristina Abernathy!
