Ever since May 3rd '99, they've been a little jumpy on the trigger down there. Probably more so after May 8th and 9th of '03. Oh, and this should make your day: My best friend who graduated a year behind me from OU's Meteorology program works for a company that helps improve the stations' systems with some sort of software stuff. England's on the list for an upgrade, and as soon as he gets it, expect more ratings grabs with even newer and more improved systems... they don't spend the money for nothing... ![]() |

He just mentioned on the news that they have been getting some nasty phone calls from people who want to watch basketball!

The worst interuption of all time, was in 1994 when they interupted the NBA finals to follows OJ's White Bronco driving towards his mothers house. Sorry, but I'm a Knicks fan, the TV exec's who approved that one should still be hanged today.

That big line of T-Storms just passed through here. Knocked out my Directv for 6 minutes. It's still raining hard but the TV is back.

I've 'hated' England since 1988. Federal mandate of removal of Pb (lead) from gasoline had just come into play. For a couple of years I'd been using wet chemistry methods to determine the amount of Pb in the air in and around OKC. England gets on the air and says it was stupid to have the mandate. With his knowledge of weather he couldn't see how dangerous levels of Pb could be present with Oklahoma winds. This is a guy who should know about how the geography and lay of the land can develop unique weather phenomenon and air conditions. The area around Penn Ave and I-40 was particularly bad at Pb levels and was a low area that car exhaust would accumulate. (And there was housing through the area.) For the record within a year of increasing unleaded gasoline use the amounts of Pb in the air samples required one to use a six fold increase in sensitivity to detect Pb levels. I went from wet chemistry to emission spectroscopy in order to monitor levels. The interesting thing is the discussions my in-laws older sibling use to have about the use of Pb. He was a chemist with the ethyl corp. and with the Texas Oil Boards. They were well aware of the Pb health hazard in the early part of the 20th century. The tradeoffs might have been acceptable with fewer than 20 million cars and with less driving but in the last of half of the 20th century it was as escalating problem.

Our station General Manager said we will break into programming ONLY if a tornado is on the ground, otherwise we will not touch the basketball games.
I think the storms down here were a little worse than the ones in central OK. Relatively speaking, they weren't all that bad. It all turned out to be a non-event. |
