Bill, I couldn't agree with you more. I too think TWC has become way to commercialized. Their promos, "we keep you ahead of the storm", cool promo, but that is why they are The WX Channel. We expect them to keep us ahead of the storm. I'm not cool at all with them putting mets and other personnel into storm conditions. Somebody is going to get hurt, or worse. It may be a live shot too. Unless they are running a "janet jackson" delay on their feeds, and it doesn't look like they are.
The Year From Hell, thanks Phil, may be the last year to see a live shot in storm conditions. If you keep playing with mother nature, she'll return the favor, and she plays hardball!
