My wife used to get upset with me for shouting at the OCM's about how dumb they were since they didn't seem to have the info we have and some times make some really bizzare statements. :lol: :lol: Now she just tolerates me and smiles. :D

One of the TWC women a few days ago stumbled horribly through the Tropical Update(it was painful just to watch). She correctly placed the Bay of Campeche in the Southern Gulf and then 10 seconds later called the Baja California the Bay of Campeche, LOL

I have shouted so many times, not only at the weather guys, but when something is misspelled on the news(the ticker) or the banner is wrong or they have the wrong video. :lol:

Oh and who can forget "The Gulf of Georgia" :lol:

Yeah, but did she look good doing it? That's all TWC really cares about.

It was years ago when Lisa Mozer was working there.

I don't watch TWC near as much as I used to (the tropical update is the only thing I catch semi-regularly, not every hour at least for now).

Things are looking pretty quiet in the Gulf of Georgia this afternoon & all is quiet in the Sea of Mexico.

Yep... over around the old Soviet Republics right?

This was in a tropical region... little too far north and the body of water is a little small for anything. :wink:

Kinda like she's about to throw some home-brewed convection onto Columbia. Poor Columbia. What did it ever do to her?
