sabrotha Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 First time poster from San Antonio. TV Stations are only doing cutins during commercial breaks. Our stations are not very good at severe weather coverage. And as I'm posting, Bexar County has been placed under a tornado warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewxmann Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just a reminder that with these really sluggish storm motions, the SA storm is probably still about an hour away from downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
