Katie,
It’s Sunday evening and we are all missing Amazing Race because you are telling us about weather north of Savannah, Missouri some 85 miles to our north or bumfuck Egypt west of Topeka, Kansas. Hey, Katie, get a grip don’t you think they have their own tv group they are listening to if they would care about a gust of wind or a few drops of rain? They are probably closer to Omaha than Kansas City anyway. Why don’t you take time out of our programs to tell us about the weather in…um…Springfield, Mo. some 300 miles to our south. That is about your speed, sis. You gonna brag about working this weekend on Monday’s news program and about how KCTV5 can’t hire anyone as competent as you think you are. Shut up already.

I don’t care about missing t.v. shows people. I would like to know when a tornado is coming my way. Even if it does not happen then I will look at it this way. Well we missed it this time, and all better for it, because at least we prepared for it. I ABSOLUTELY HATE MIKE THOMPSON. I have lived here a long time and I cannot tell you how many times he has goofed! I even waved to him once at a stoplight while on 7th street trafficway. He did not wave back he just stared. What an arrogant b**tard. Sorry people had to speak my mind this time.

I think all the Kc stations are bad. Noone bothers to cover the counties south we could get swept up and carried off and nobody would know it was coming.

If all you whiners can’t handle getting your stupid programs interrupted…. then go out and buy a damn ANTENNA, point it towards Topeka and watch WIBW, how hard is that? That station is receieveable in the whole metro with a really QUALITY rooftop antenna. Mike Thompson is a moron. Several years ago, he kept barking about there “Not being a torndao” in my area… when I stood outside and saw the damn thing with my own eyes!! Then the next day, he said it was a “Cold weather funnel”!!! Other times, he calls things a “gustnado” deos he just make this stuff up? I don’t want to see him and his stupid elvis impersonations, or his guitar crap… I want to see someone who’s professional and thorough like Katie. That Gary Amble ain’t bad to look at, either. He’s HOT!!!

I don’t *exactly* want Katie fired… I just don’t want her to be chief meterologist, anymore. It’s obviously gone to her head. Back in the 90s, Gary Amble was THE man to watch, for the family, if things got severe… in the late 90s and up to today, that Gary has since switched to Gary Lezak.

Katie needs her ego deflated, and needs to be humbled. She COULD be good, but she’d rather be a sensationalist, rather than an actual meteorologist.

Bring back Gary Amble!

I think ya’ll need to turn the damn TV off and go outside now and then. Thousands of problems in this world and your main concerns are that you didn’t get to watch your inane network television shows for *one night* – which may, at worst, be 1 of 10 out of 365.

With most networks re-broadcasting their garbage on their websites the day after,(remember the writer’s strike? Oh, probably not – they didn’t bother interrupting The Biggest Loser to announce it!) you’ll be able to catch up in 20 minutes on your computer.

People wonder why this country is going down the tubes. Don’t blame the Democrats; don’t blame the Republicans; blame the citizenship who is more concerned with the goings on of American Idol and Desperate Housewives than what’s going on in the world around them.

I sat at home ready for the one night of the week that I sit down and watch tv & what is forced upon me after a few seconds of entertainment but weather coverage full of redundant, a little incorrect, and very inconvenient. Now, do not give me some safety bull, if something big goes down that can not be put on the graphics in the corner or the updates & alerts on the bottom of the screen, by all means give people in that coverage area some info as close to a break if time allows(depending on severity). I in no way need to here some grade school lecture about storms & how a tornado is made. Repugnant redundancy waters down the severity of the situation. Others with an alternative to local stations will take that option rather than be bullied by someone that wants more kudos for covering what could be covered with print & graphics while a nationally broadcasted show can be enjoyed. Yeah bring it on.
