Thanks for updating this blog when you could; our television was out this afternoon and since the radio coverage was not particularly thorough, my family used your blog to stay updated.

I am glad I could help you out during the rough weather. WMT radio, depending on where the severe weather is, simulcasts our coverage. Also if we are on with a tornado warning our home page at KWWL.com has live video of what is on TV if your cable is out.
