I am SO proud!
My airstaff really showed their stuff in all the severe weather on Sunday. From part-timers making timely calls, to news people dropping everything to start gathering information, to both full- and part-time staff that streamed into the station to help...I couldn't be more proud of these people!
It's not easy doing severe weather coverage. Information streams in from all sources -- some confirmed and some not -- and they did a fantastic job of filtering the pertinent from the rumor and getting the info to those on the air. For many, this was their first time dealing with severe weather, and the fact that only one person was killed in our listening area tells me that the word did get out to people in time to take cover.
The weather spotters who were out in the storms, and the police, fire and medical teams that streamed into the damaged area also deserve fantastic kudos. Plus the community is already pulling together to help those who lost much, if not everything, to the storms.
Damn! Let's see satellite radio pull off what we did! I am so damned proud of this staff and station today!

Damn straight, Bill. You guys have an excellent staff there. You did WHAT RADIO IS SUPPOSED TO do. Inform, entertain, be real...be there. My hearst go out to those who lost it all in Sedalia and around there. Tell Ken thanks for the Shooting Star this morning.
This is fantastic, Bill. I couldn't believe the photos from the area...
Congrats to all your guys, it's very exciting to hear stories like these.
Tell Ken there is some headly-deadly lighting right now...
