WLW news light must be burnt out

[Arbitorn]

Okay, I was wrong about the winds in Louisville. I checked earlier in the afternoon while I still had electricity. At that time, Cincinnati was getting a steady blast with Louisville and Columbus not as much.

A Pox Upon Clear Channel

Woe to a grieving tri-state;

And forever cursed be the name - Parks.

An effigy must burn. Burn brightly into the night sky of Kenwood. Burn into our minds an image of such great evil, that we never shall forget - Parks.

Heads must roll. (Nessman, 1978.) Mark my words. Heads must roll. (Nessman, later same year.)

Yea verily, the cretinous one named Parks must pay.

Pray that the pestiferous Parks be neutered. Lest we might again see such evil rise during surprise wind storms of future generations.

May the great and grand Obama soon deliver us from such iniquity as Clear Channel, and their evil minion - Parks.

I must jump to the defense of WHAS in Louisville. They dropped all canned programming at 1:30 pm Sunday, going live wall-to-wall through 9:00pm. Al Mayo was live with Scott Fitzgerald until Francene made it in at 3:00 pm. Dave Jennings took it from 6-9pm. They also had continuous LIVE local news updates all night long at the top of the hour.

I'm also told WHAS lost power for about 4 hours Sunday, and continued their efforts with generator and candle power running the studios.

The station also carried live briefings from the Mayor, and Governor Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. WHAS also dropped Michael Savage Monday and Tuesday, brining in Denton Randall to host live from 9:00 pm until midnight each day. Full closing lists are up on the website too. It's interesting to note that despite the outages, their web traffic is up considerably--huge spikes since the blackout hit.

BTW--credit LEO and it's media critic Rick Redding for this information.

One more thing--winds were clocked at a steady 58 MPH for over one hour, with the highest gust recorded as 75 mph at Louisville International. That's just about hurricane force for those who are wondering.

It would be nice if you had a clue what you're ranting about before you run over at the keyboard. :

honestly, WHAS surprised me. They have kinda slacked off the past few years with things like letting the EAS handle weather alerts and no local news on the weekends and overnights anymore. I was leaving Paul Brown Stadium about 4:30 and listened to 840 all the way home.

I had heard gusts of 77, which is a high cat 1 hurricane. 58 sustained is considered a high tropical storm/low cat 1 hurricane.

I had a chance to talk to a lineman working for LG&E yesterday (briefly) and he told me he has never seen this much destruction. He said the tornadoes of '74 were not this bad.
