What a concept! Report during a commercial period and not talk about how thunderstorms form for 2 hours like others do

I dunno why they didn't interrupt coverage. When they finally did, the dumb *** on WCBI said the storm was moving Southeast, when it was clearly moving North Northeast on radar. I looked at the clouds as well. It was clearly coming back from Starkville. Even though a tornado never dropped in Starkville, some places got flooded really bad, and there was a sever hail threat. I think that warrants commercial interruption. Especially during late afternoon network television-horrible talk shows, etc.

Channel 4 = "The storm is weakening." from the weather guy.

Channel 9 = "Emergency management personnel from Oktibbeha county have just reported a funnel cloud near the Starkville airport moving ESE." from the newscaster interrupting a story he was on.

These on-air reports occured withing 30 seconds of each other.
Thank you channel 9 for staying on top of it.

I kid you not, they interupted to tell everybody that "It is not raining in Slidell." The weather guy (Dan Milhon (?)) even had his necktie and collar opened and his sleeves rolled up (like in hurricane coverage.)
