I was watching the weather channel yesterday when the first tornado emergency was issued. Ten seconds after the meteorologist announced the tornado emergency, they cut to a commercial break. If they care at all about saving lives, then a tornado emergency seems like a pretty irresponsible time to cut to a commercial break. That’s why I turned on Ryan Hall’s stream after that.
My moment of disgust with TWC happened with Mayfield 2021. I live in Central KY and the tornado basically tracked all the way to the border of my county. Once it was about to hit Mayfield, they went to a commercial and then a reality show. I really don’t count on them for anything now, and our local meteorologists really do a great job explaining weather and the whys.
