aadams_22 3 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 that used to be one of my local stations...wow, small world.KFVS12 IS one of my local stations. Trust me those storms were nasty. We didn't have a tornado here in West Frankfort, but 80 mph winds were bad enough. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I do my share of whining about Rochester winters, but every time I see footage like this I'm glad I don't live in Tornado, Earthquake, Hurricane, or Flood territory. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably one of the better ones.Seeing that site actually brought back memories...dang. Link to post Share on other sites

Petoria 0 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I dont think theres a word that can perfectly describe what it's like to witness a tornado like that close-up. Link to post Share on other sites
HangukMiguk 8 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 you're right on that...Jim Rasor is a wankfor realfor that matter, wsil news was always a hack anyway.it was maybe 25 minutes of national/world news/with sports mixed in with maybe 5 minutes of local news?i'm sorry...isn't that what world news tonight was for?

aadams_22 3 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 for realfor that matter, wsil news was always a hack anyway.it was maybe 25 minutes of national/world news/with sports mixed in with maybe 5 minutes of local news?i'm sorry...isn't that what world news tonight was for?Lot more local now...and the other meteorologists at WSIL are better. About 2 years ago around Christmas there was snow being predicted a few days before Christmas Eve. Rasor said we would get a max of 3 inches. I woke up the next morning to 20 inches on the ground. Despite the fact that the NWS predicted we would get close to 2 feet of snow Rasor still said 3 inches max. Link to post Share on other sites

I was around on that one.I didn't hear what rasor was predicting, I was either watching KFVS, WPSD, or WEHT in Evansville. Those are the 3 best weather reports in the area IMO.And all of them expected a blizzard.3 inches...someone comes to work drunk. Link to post Share on other sites

The greenhouses on the north side of Paducah on I-24, as you're headed to Metropolis, IL, collapsed under the weight of the snow. Link to post Share on other sites
