Wow, yesterday was pretty insane with the video from Tony and getting it on the air with CNN in about 2.5 seconds after it happened.
Ok, it was a little longer then 2.5 seconds but it was asap broadcast quality from the field right after it happened. The cool part was that he did not even have to break off the chase to get the footage out and was able to keep chasing and up to BNVN. WTF is up with TWC… Tornado Time, 2:40 footage in the hand time 3:40 and the storms were rolling towards Dallas. Wedge tornado on the ground and they decided to wait for free footage or tower cams but at the same time the CNN desk was like um name your price because were rolling with it since this stuff is heading for Dallas. Wedge Tornado on the ground in Seymour, so you people in Dallas, watch out this is coming your way…
Or a freaking tower cam and “if you catch stuff, send it in for free and we will use it on the air” bull shit. Oh well, TWC is turning into the lifestyle network vs being a real news channel are focusing in on the NEWS when NEWS happens. Oh well, such is the life of a stringer and the stringer network… Today I’m just trying to finish up the corrections to the hurricane project that Chris found. Then it is off to try and catch Dander and Dumpster Juice tonight.
