Who would have thought this one possible...

People are calling in droves to WFAA about Tornado Coverage...not that their programs are being interrupted...but that they can't get ANY coverage on their station right now. They are continuing to air the Dancing With the Stars finale...

Good to see their priorities are straight...

Terrible situation...how could you possibly get all those people to safety in time? Just a nightmare scenario

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.

They stopped the game at least 10 to 15 mins before it got bad... and had already been evacuating the upper deck starting in the 2nd inning

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.

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.
