Molly is subdued because I have not played with her a single minute today. I think she sleeps a lot more on rainy days because she may connect that with thunder which sends her to one of her three storm-safe places.

Thanks, Robert

And thanks for rainfall report, Justin

J.B. do you know what hurricane model(s) are usual the most accurate and best to watch? And do the NHC try to keep the track of Dennis away from New Orleans for the time being because of possible model error and panic?

Please find a way to present severe weather warnings without destroying the viewing publics' pleasure. The Dancing with the Stars event, which was interrupted for an extended length of time, could have, at least, been shown in the smaller box for the entire time that Mr. Spann was giving meteriological hyperbole. Other channels beep and present a crawl or present a box with the endangered county in red. There MUST be a way to not interrupt programming since ALL THE COMMERCIALS were presented in toto.

Just one voice, one very angry voice. I appreciate how much weather forcasting and warnings have reduced the fatalaties associated with tornados and other weather hazards, but you can do this and not destroy the public's viewing pleasure.

If a tsunami heads our way, feel free to block all programming.

Peace,
P.

Guys:

Don't let "one angry voice" worry you. 99.9% of us appreciate the interruptions. They save lives. "Dancing With The Stars" can wait. When Dennis is knocking on the door next week...we'll see if attitudes change.

I agree with Peggy. Earlier tonight I sent an e-mail to the station about the weather coverage. While there are times when this type of coverage is appropriate, there are other times such as tonight where brief updates are sufficient.

Hey P.M. I don,t think anybody will respond to your E-mail you have to give a name and since you did not I don,t think they will, I know if it was me I would not. Again I think that servere weather and tornados even small ones are first and T.V. shows 2.

My e-mail, which was sent via the station's website, was signed and included my e-mail address. They did send me a reply. They are showing "Dancing With The Stars" again Saturday, so I will be able to see the full program. Thanks for showing it again!

See i knew some peolpe who have not got their priorities in order, would get on this blog and complain about the interruption last night. I told my wife last night, He will have some nasty emails in the morning. I agree with David, Their will be some people who will adjust their tone next week when Dennis comes in especially if this thing is a CAT 4 when it hits. To think some people will put the lives of others ahead of a TV program.
