The feed seems to be struggling at the moment. Does this have anything to do with the fact they are currently interviewing someone from Accuweather? :lol:

All they're running is a Doppler radar with the NOAA weather radio band playing. I hope they're not actually playing this on the TV.

They probably are doing that. I remeber a local TV Station down here doing the same exact thing during Hurricane Andrew.

I don't remember that. It wasn't one of the network stations, was it? I know it wasn't 10, and it certainly wasn't 4 because that was Norcross' station.

It was a local Miami station, like channel 2, 6, or 39. I still have it on one of my VHS tapes. I recorded non stop a part of all the available TV stations up until I lost power about 2am. If it was'nt so late, I could check it easily, but since I am thinking about it, possibly tomorrow.

this is showing the news live now. the feed isn't too great. they have a sign language interpreter--- which is really good, esp. if their local news is not closed captioned. but, anyway... it is live local news, now.

Probably because a bunch of goobs from Storm2K are taking up the bandwidth. :-)

If your opening this in windows media player you can change your buffer settings to manually buffer for a longer amount of time.. I've set mine to 30 and while I get a break here or there it's much improved... tornado warnings and damage have been reported.

Reports of a colapsed roof at an apartment complex in Brownsville. The station is on the way to confirm...
