I live in the what is known as tornado alley in the south and our little berg was wiped out 9 years ago because of a lack of radar coverage but since then we have brought everything up to standards. Let me put it like this if a bird breaks wind 3 hundred miles away in Oklahoma we get a blip on the Doppler radar. I am not kidding I have a friend that works for the local ABC station and he showed me just how amazing those radar are when it comes to picking up anything out of the ordinary when it comes to weather anomalies.
The great thing about my friend the weatherman is that he sometimes acts as goofy as moose when he is on TV, but when the weather gets weird he is setting out in the middle of it running the Doppler and risking his butt.
I applaud him and I applaud all of those local weathermen around the country who appear on the local TV stations who tend to act a bit weird, goofy, or crazy around the country. I guess they get a little bored because on most days there is nothing to do, so like a well trained soldier home on leave they tend to make mischief. Maybe that is why they all have to be seen on TV standing out in the weather while the news faces sit safe and warm at TV central. Perhaps they are saying, I understand you Ms Hurricane and you are my friend, my lover, and my worst enemy. Who knows? That is okay in my book weather guys and gals but please just be there when the time comes..
I wrote all of the above for a reason because I realized that if all of the Weather people had not been in place days before the New Orleans flood we might have had a situation like we had a few months ago when we all learned that new word...That word was Tsunami.
