When I was there last week people seemed to like the abc guy. Can’t remember his name though

Agree, anyone taking some time can find better info. But the masses use TV so thats only reason I say they need some leeway in chasing. They have helicopters and many chaser teams who are weathermen mostly. Their infrastructure is bigger.
In time that will change but until others get choppers it will be tough to overcome.
There's a solution to the chaser issue as it pertains to media coverage, and it isn't specific to the OKC metro area. Put the best chasers on the payroll and don't hamstring them with safety clauses. TV channels across the country (and their parent companies) want to have their cake and eat it too whilst relieving themselves of any liability. They believe they are entitled to footage and content and that they should pay nothing. They're multi-billion dollar corporations, yet they offer credit and a heavily-slanted contract that includes a perpetuity clause and gives them the right to profit off of the content......FOR NOTHING.
I'll never side with a TV channel on this issue. They're cheap, disrespectful, and their collective guilt trip on days like today is tired and worn out.

Ginger Zee is pimping KOCO. No idea if they are any good.

Locals vote Payne is way ahead
Morgan is News 4
Lane is News 5
Payne is News 9
Payne was a chaser reporting in the field during the May 3, 1999 F5 - working for News 4 - and Morgan was at News 4 then.

I agree with you on this. Private chasers will never have the vehicles, choppers and millions of dollars in radar equipment TV has. But I do agree TV is too big and controlling. But for tornados they rule coverage

They don't, or they wouldn't be routinely begging people for video.
For as much as I don't care for Ryan Hall, he's put his money where his mouth is. He shares profits with the chasers he uses and they've donated a hell of a lot of money and supplies to storm victims all while there's nothing but crickets from TV.

Things are popping now.

I hesitate to say this, but over the past few weeks we have seen storm after storm produce possible sigtors without a noticeable or significant CC drop. I don't know why that is, but I don't like that trend.

Okene storm seems to have two rotations.

Who is downvoting every post? Lol

There’s 3 tornadoes south of Enid and 1 north of Enid all within a 25 miles radius
