How's the weather?

[3074326]

I was partying in a garage. Fuckin' storms ruined that.

Got intense last night. 10tv has some interesting pictures up. Looks like there was another (near) tornado in Columbus.. seems like we've had more of those than usual this year..

Heat Index hit 114 yesterday

 

[Dryden]

Wow. What a night last night.

It was so bad, NBC4 had both Jym Ganahl and Ben Gelber in the studio at 12:30am commenting on the radar at the same time. Crazy shit. I cannot believe NBC4 took that risk by allowing Ganahl and Gelber to congregate in one location during such severe weather. That's like letting the President and Vice President fly on the same airplane. If something happened, we'd all be fucked.

Hopefully, next time, NBC4 gets their shit together and skirts one of either Ganahl or Gelber off to a safe location while the other is on air, so that we have a backup in case of the worst. Allowing those two to be in the same room at the same time during such a storm seemed a silly, needless risk.

lol. And I loveeeeeed how every single person that works there decided they all need to call in to confirm that it is raining and there is thunder.

No. Shit.

Ganahl: OK, we're going to Tom in Pickerington ... Tom?

Tom: Yeah. It's uh ... raining really hard here. I'm on my cell phone and pulled under an overpass to wait this out, and the lightning is just unbelievable. It's like strobe lights going off every second. And it's hailing now ... 'bout penny-sized hail.

Ganahl: Thanks for that report Tom. We now go to Mike in Reynoldsburg.

Mike: Yeah. it's uh ... just starting to rain really hard here now. Oh ... OK, here it comes ... it's hailing now; I'd say hail stones about the size of a penny ...

Gelber: Sorry to interrupt Gym, but I just got off the phone with Columbus EMA and they have confirmed that those sirens we are hearing right now are in fact the tornado sirens. EMA says they are still going off, and we can confirm that for our listeners in Columbus ... we can hear those sirens. In Columbus. Sorry Gym, back to you.

I think that series of events happened about 10 times last night with the call ins.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

I was listening to the coverage on the radio when they took a call from some woman listener who was out driving in it. This is my recollection of the conversation:

Host: Okay, we've got AJ from her car. AJ, what's it like out there?
Caller: It's awful driving out here. It's raining so hard!
Host: Where are you right now?
Caller: I'm in my car on 71 South at Morse Road. I'm headed home to Grandview.
Host: Uuuuuuh......it sounds like you are headed right into the worst of the storm right now.....uhhhhh.......
Caller: Yeah, it's really bad.
Host: So, do you have your flashers on? Are the other drivers going slowly?
Caller: No, I'm going about 60 right now. I'm right in between two semis. I feel safer here.
Host: Uuuuuuuhhh.........okay?


Fucking moron!

Did you catch someone on air whispering "awwwwesommme" when they were talking about the hook echo on the radar?

 

[Bleed S & G]

Left the drapes open last night - the lightning was awesome last night

 

[Dryden]

Yes.

I think my personal favorite was when the off-camera staffer girl kept giving them updates and snippets from phone calls, and she said something like, "Joe in Bexley called in to say that he saw at least four funnel shaped clouds," and Ganahl just sort of matter-of-factly says, "Uh ... no he didn't."

Shot down on-air by Ganahl himself, Joe. Massive fail, wherever you are.

 

[buckeyefool]

This is not from last nights storms, but this is a call in to nbc4 during a storm a few years ago.

hahaha that was definitely my favorite. If I remember Ganahl was like "yeahhhhh that's not really possible with the type of storm that we have here. This isn't a supercell like you see in Oklahoma."

YouTube - Tongue at Lesbian Convention

"I was driving at my usual speed of 54mph and it just hit me like a tongue at a lesbian convention"

 

[Dryden]

These lesbian conventions ... when and where are they held?

 

[Nutriaitch]

Nasty ass thunderstorm passing through. We got lots of wind. Hail stone are getting blown in through the bay doors. Shitload of thunder and lightning.
