Incorrect. CW has had a ticker and bug running every 5 minutes since the first warning. The ticker isn't on CBS I believe because they are currently in newscast.

I get ONE day off work early, come home to lay down, and....

Hey WDIV, it's annoying AF that the storm warning ticker is accompanied by a trio of loud warning "bongs" that mute the on-camera talent's program audio, which seems might just be relevant to the immediate conditions.

[EDIT] Well, I thought they may have figured this out. But, no.

MW - do you follow Paul Gross on Twitter? My mom does and said he hinted there was some rotation around Dexter and there might even have been a very brief tornado spinup there (he saw what looked like a tiny debris signature). He's more trustworthy and more on the ball than any TV meteorologist currently on the air.
Probably the worst hail I've seen in a long time. My deck in Whitmore Lake was covered with it. It reached golf ball/egg size around PInckney. Thank God the storm waited until after I had gotten home to unleash the worst of its fury.

No rain in West Michigan it's like a shield can't get rain what little rain came Sun & Tue didn't make a dent whatsoever.

These storms really wreaked havoc in NW Ohio. Significant damage in the Point Place area of Toledo, though no official confirmation of a tornado as I type this (but there obviously was one, caught on video plain as day). As of this moment the only confirmed touchdown is in Ottawa County near Port Clinton (likely the one MW mentioned in this thread). Some damage in Sandusky too (likely from that same storm).

The networks have a responsibility to inform viewers of impending weather conditions. Those that didn't should start getting fined. Just because a few bozos complain about their favorite show or sports team being interrupted doesn't mean the stations to cave into them.
Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

If the EAS was triggered and aired then the obligation you talk about was covered. W hie I agree they should be doing lots more, that is legally all they have to do so no fines.
