Witness Protection Program Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Yeah, one of the local stations went to shots of the crowds at Ranger Stadium filling the aisles and being directed from the mid level concourses into the dugout areas. Could hear the ballpark announcer Chuck Morgan telling them to move in an orderly fashion, ending with "And remember, kids, please don't jar."

canderson Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am sure they have practice drills every year for this, although practice and reality are usually two different things at the end of the day. I was caught AY the ballpark in a tornado in 2095 I believe it as. Had golf ball hail. They do a great job, they are well trained for this. I grew up in Mesquite basically and had my house destroyed twice by tornadoes. My parents ate now in the middle of hell in Arlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand hesitance to totally preempt a season finale, but the WFAAholes aren't even doing a webcast of weather coverage, when they have frequently in past outbreaks.
