    Weird weather; wild wind when?

    It was quite an odd weather day in Indianapolis. Especially for the weekend after Christmas. Despite the overcast skies, the temperature climbed to a high of 66°F. In December. We opened windows all over the house, so we could enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. Did I mention it’s almost January?

    I managed to get out on the rooftop deck to dismantle our patio table and umbrella. It became quite a chore, as the umbrella had become fused to the weight keeping it on the ground. It’s last few more than a few strong winds and freezing temperatures over the past few months, but I really didn’t want it slamming into our bedroom tonight.

    Well, there’s a lovely low pressure system working its way east during the evening and overnight hours. Winds are expected to have gusts between 45 and 50 MPH, with a steady breeze around 30MPH. Oh, and at one point there was a discussion that tornadoes could be an issue tonight.

    How exciting!

    If you’re in Indiana, then you know about the severe weather that passed through last Friday night and again today.

    I personally thought we did a great job with our coverage. We’re very aware that you’re actually watching us to see programming, not sitting at home praying we’re going to interrupt your cerebral numbing with weather happening 100 miles away from you. To that end, we do our best to not cover programming. We wait until ABC goes to a break, we cut in, then get you back in time for our local break and back into the show.

    During last Friday’s storms, we did our best, and did it pretty well. We didn’t cover any of the 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee, which let Hoosiers see an Indiana boy take the prize. We did blow off 20/20, but at that point the storms were extremely severe on Indianapolis’ east-side.

    We spent the entire weekend covering the severe weather, so on Monday I was asked to put together a P.O.P. (Proof of Performance) spot. Here’s what we put together in just a few hours, with very little determined going in to the project (really, the music was the only thing we knew would make it into the spot).

    So, that was our fun Monday at RTV6. Be expecting these spots to change on Wednesday, as we get more video in from the TWO tornadoes Tuesday evening (does that make it a two-fer Tuesday?).

Editing life, sometimes.
