Re: the old WJPW-AM 810

As I have been told over the years the 'basement' in question is the remains of a home that the tornado in 1956 destroyed. The same tornado that came through Hudsonville and Standale and killed 17.

Re: Tony Gates Pulled From WLAV

Interesting, interesting, interesting stuff. Thanks. I remember it all from Top 40 WLAV am, WGRD am and when Fm only played classical music. (WLAV included back then.)

Re: New Weather Center Being Built at WOOD TV 8.

NEWS 9 in OKC still does so today. Very smart on their part. They've shown funnels and tornadoes on camera from their chopper live on a few occasions where the NWS failed to issue or had not yet issued a warning. Compare that to the lapdogs in West Michigan who acted as apologists for the NWS's com...

Re: Fox 17 hires Meteorologist Haleigh Vaughn

Forecasting ability? Hell I read the NWS Forecast Discussion page twice a day for the updates. They all do too. Not that hard after you learn the jargon. Buck Matthews did it, you can too.

Re: Changing of the Guard at WZZM

After reading what they did to Shanna Grove.....nevermind. One has to wonder why the talent has abandoned TV13? Kristin Mazur, Sarah Makuta, all the female weather reporters...so yeah. Never Mind.
