Go to this headline: "Caught on Tape! High School Cameras Survive the Storm"

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.

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.

We have 3 of those 4. We get tornadoes, earthquakes, and floods here...and yet I don't want to leave the midwest.

Natural disasters are -ev

KFVS12 was probably one of my favorite stations for weather. Probably one of the better ones.

Seeing that site actually brought back memories...dang.

you're right on that...Jim Rasor is a wank

I dont think theres a word that can perfectly describe what it's like to witness a tornado like that close-up.

for real

for 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.

I live in fu.ckin' tornado alley motherfuc.ker!

In 04? 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.

so do I





Yeah it was '04...I remember my brother driving home from Detroit that night. It usually take 9 hours to get to West Frankfort from Detroit...it took him 14 hours that night. Once he hit Effingham it was a complete mess.

it was absolutely gross. i was snowed in for 4 days (could've been 2 or 3, but i was too lazy to go shovel my driveway...i had a big driveway).

i just remember all the news over kentucky and indiana about people being stuck for 24-48 hours on the interstate. pretty jacked up.

Yeah, they completely shut down I-24 and the Purchase Parkway in Kentucky. 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.

Was I the only person that kept waiting for some loud screaming monster to pop up at the end and scare the shit out of me?

Fearsome

Crazy weather... we get the odd T-Storm in the summer and 'reported' tornadoes ONCE in a while, although I've never been apart of one.

Just north of me in Barrie (Royal Tour's town) got hit with 1 last summer, looked like a total mess and glad we wern't a part of it.

we've had a few reported touch downs every so often, i have yet to see one. or be affected though

pretty heavy weather up here right now. luckily, nothing really bad in hamilton county right now, hopefully it stays that way.

We're under another thunderstorm warning right now. We had a high of 82...82!...in April no less.
