Every county in Southern Michigan is under a tornado warning tonight and it seems to have hit just late enough that all the regular news crew had gone home. Instead we have the JV team on the air tonight.
Intrepid Weather Girl – She is so excited that she was here when the big weather dogs had gone home. When she’s not giggling, she’s struggling to find Michigan on the map. We seem to end up looking at Toledo an awful lot. She keeps saying “we’re in for some eventful weather tonight” and “it’s coming OFF THE WIRE right now.” And while she doesn’t seem to be as focused on Liam (anchor boy) as he is on her, she does giggle a bit more during her interactions with him.
Nervous Anchor Boy – “Don’t need to PANIC here”, Nervous Anchor Boy says with a squeaky voice. He’s apparently here to provide us with perspective because every time we cut to him he talks about putting a perspective on tonight. Sometimes it’s actual perspective and sometimes it’s just information. He also has a HUGE crush on the weather girl…”Julie is doing such a great job tonight” and “We’ll get back to Julie is just doing awesome tonight.” Before the night is over I expect him to start singing “Wind Beneath My Wings” when he switches back to the weather.
OH….they also are insanely focused on the lightning. “OVER 6,000 STRIKES!” “6,000 STRIKES! OF LIGHTNING!” “THAT’S THOUSANDS OF STRIKES….6,000!”
Oh, WILX, I love you so.
