They do where I live in Northern Michigan. There is a Grand Rapids station that pre-empts anything to get their meteorologists on-air during a tornado warning, sometimes for hours at a time if the storm travels across the state and maintains cloud rotation the whole time.

The warning was for 2 counties, this channel probably covered 9 counties, so there were people watching who would have been annoyed if they shut down the station for a storm.

@deerfish3000 2 года назад

This tornado warning was issued due to a funnel cloud spotted near Milford Michigan and was spawned from The Independence Day Derecho of 1977. It started in the morning hours of July 4th in Minnesota, passed through Wisconsin, Michigan and ended in Northern Ohio early the next morning on July 5th. It lasted for a total of 15 and a half hours.

Marineland voiceover by Henry Ramer. This is the commercial I remember from my childhood. Marineland is still in operation, still bombarding us with their commercials in every commercial break (sometimes twice), and still horribly abusing their animals. My parents took us there in 1974, and were so outraged by what they saw, that we never went back.

@RikkiSpanish 3 года назад

At least they actually said what counties the warning was for. I remember when the Detroit TV stations changed the graphics for a bit in the early 1990s. All they had was a cartoonish looking graphic of a tornado funnel with the word "warning" or "watch" under it(depending on the situation) in the corner of the screen. We were often left asking, "Okay, there's a warning or watch... but for which counties!?" lol.
