High Risk of Severe Weather

Today might unfold to be a record day with large hail and the threat of long tracked dangerous tornadoes. I am in North Carolina at my brothers wedding and will unfortunatly miss out on this event but I wanted to posted some information regaurding the weather today. This is a real dangerous situation and life threatening to say the least so everyone needs to have a source of warning information for today and tonight across the whole Southeast.

The ABC 33/40 Weather Blog started as “WeatherTalk”, a daily op-ed piece on the ABC 33/40 web site which we started writing way back in 1996, when the station first signed on the air. Back then there were not that many Internet users, and nobody knew what a blog was anyway!
