They have been just festering all winter to put something on the screen. I bet they are secretly glad that there's a big fire danger because they get to pull out the new daily Fire Danger ratings. Today, we are in the ultimate mega death in an instant fire hazard. If you breathe today, you and everyone around you will EXPLODE!

Last night, they went on forever about the "severe" thunderstorm in OKC. This is Oklahoma. If you've lived here for any amount of time, 60 mph wind and pea size hail wouldn't even get you out of your seat at the football game. There's like one gust of 59 mph in the entire state and DOPPLER 10 BILLION SHOWS A POSSIBILITY THAT WE MAY BE UNDER A RISK OF NEAR 60MPH DAMAGING WINDS! I like how they changed the color schemes on the radar to look more dangerous. What used to be red is now black.

They've just totally lost it. I bet anyone from another state who is staying here would be scared to death.

They're crying wolf so much that when there's an actual life threatening tornado, many people won't even do anything and may die. Or worse.

Just out of curiosity, what would be worse?

I'm curious: Is your name pronounced 'nay-ber' or 'nabber'.

This is critical information.

Dude, if you don't know, I can't tell you. But it's worse.


Pronunciation is in the eye of the beholder.

Can you die more than once? That would be worse.

Yes.

What color is fire danger on the map? Red is already used for tornado warnings, although I've seen them have to reuse colors before.



Last night, they went on forever about the "severe" thunderstorm in OKC.


Of course.

Our amplifer goes to 11.

That's how they get ratings.

Yes.

I like this poster.

And I think I'll say it 'Nayber'. Rhymes with 'Traber'.

They use the Fire Danger like heat index during the weather on the newscast.

I did see it on (I think) Channel 5 on a map during a TV show. It was red. Luckily for them, they didn't have a tornado warning to post and avoided the confusion.

Maybe they could use plaid.

I bet in the next few years, there will be a map constantly on screen. There'll be warnings for mist. Wanings for breeze. Warnings for clouds shaped like elephants walking on top of the Lincoln monument.

They already throw up the map for fog--how much worse can it get? Even worse, the map covers the entire damn state and not just the viewing area. The only reason I would need to know that Tulsa has a dense fog advisory is if if I was in Tulsa. If I was in Tulsa I wouldn't be watching an OKC TV station, and I would already know there was dense fog. :rolleyes:

Yes, I know what it means. No, it's not that, gutter minds.

It's really hard not to be jealous of someone who can break into Seinfeld just as George is saying "oh, Festivus is all too real...and I can prove it" just because there may or may not be a possibility of someone thinking they saw a tornado cloud forming somewhere.

Awwwwwright peeeepuhl!!! Listen up! I need all the interns up here pronto. There's a level 5 storm in Caddo county and we're on live in 1 minute. Grab a telephone and point at the WeatherPlex2000 screens when we're hot. THE ****'S HIT THE FAN in 5...4...3...2...1....

I resemble that remark. Except for the celebrity part...I'm not on-air.

I think he's a spokesman now for Mill Creek lumber.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they show the whole state either, other than the fact that the Tulsa and OKC stations reach the same people on the borders of their viewing areas (like Stoolwater and Chandler).

You can have overlapping viewing areas without showing the whole state. I guarantee you people in Miami aren't watching Gary England.

Yeah, like I said. I'm not sure why they show the whole state either. I know a couple of the Tulsa stations have shown maps of the whole state when it's particularly bad and is going to hit E OK later (the recent Moore tornadoes come to mind).

I don't even pay attention when they say severe thunderstorm. Hail, snow and tornado are the keywords that make me listen.
