Kirk, I usually rely on your coverage of storms as they come into Georgia. You are usually "dead on" in your predictions. When I am driving my usual commute from Arcade (Jackson county) to one of my company's sites in the metro Atlanta area I look to you for the coverage of weather conditions when bad weather is present.<br> What happened yesterday afternoon? We had two situations in Jackson county. One of which was a funnel cloud which was confirmed by a NWS Tornado Warning yesterday afternoon about 16:00. The funnel cloud was viewed by my neighbors dropping from the clouds over Arcade and touching down in the Brockton Loop Road area and then moving on up to Commerce, Georgia. I listened and listened to 750 as I am in my truck on my way to the house. I repeatedly heard information about downed trees in Hall county and then more Sean Hannity complaining about Denver, Colorado.<br> It used to be that when there was severe weather, you and the entire WSB 750 team would break in and cover the weather-to heck with programming. What happened to that? Only after two calls to WSB's operators did I finally reach someone at the WSB Radio news desk. I asked her why no one was saying anything about the tornados in Jackson County and Commerce. (This was after 30 - 45 minutes of driving and trying to call for info) Her terse response was 'Well obviously we don't know anything about it."<br> What gives???<br> I'm very frustrated and annoyed about this situation. The one time I needed to know what the heck was happening because it concerned my home and we were completely ignored. My co-workers were sending me emails on my blackberry with updates from 11 Alive and WAGA, but nothing from WSB or WSB Radio. WSB Radio is the only game in town that is all news and not Sports Talk.<br> PLEASE do not forget about the eight fastest growing county in the nation. There are a LOT of us up here who commute into Atlanta daily and want to know what is happening while at home or at work or in between. :(
