The devastation in Moore, Oklahoma goes beyond comprehension and the death toll, unfortunately, continues to rise after yesterday's massive tornado that all but leveled the town of Moore. All of us in the Tri-State want to do anything we can to help and the best way to help is by making donations to the American Red Cross by calling 812-471-7200 or online at redcross.org/tristate.

What Tree Do Helicopters Come From?

Eric Cornish — Sat, 04 May 2013 08:00:52 +0000

This weekend, you can look around much of the Tri-State and see the twirling seeds falling to the ground. Some call them helicopters. I call them whirlybirds. I even got some interesting answers from others around the office. I’ve heard them called propeller seeds, whirlygigs, copter patrol, and spinners. I’ve heard everything but what they [...]

Leslie Morgan — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:39:53 +0000

On the show this morning, I told you it's 'National Weatherman's Day.' The first thing that came to my mind was my buddy Wayne Hart over at Eyewitness News. I remembered a video I had seen of some promos he made in Louisville while working at WLKY.

You know, we give weathermen a lot of grief, so on this special day, I decided to give Wayne a little more grief - I posted a video of a blooper too!!!

Watch The Seasons Change In A Minute [VIDEO]

Leslie Morgan — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 09:07:19 +0000

After living in Florida for a year, I really began to appreiciate the changing of the seasons. Growing up in the Midwest, I expect to play in the snow in the winter, watch football -sitting on bleachers while drinking hot chocolate while wrapped in a blanket in the fall, smell the flowers blooming in the Spring and sweat my butt off in the Summer. The beauty of the seasons is undeniable and I feel bad for anyone who lives in a place where they don't experience changing colors and smells.

I found an AWESOME video of a journey through the seasons in just a little over a minute. What is even cooler? You see the seasons from the front of a train.

Yes, it is cold and might get a little colder over the next couple of days with a wintery mix being forecast for Thursday night into Friday morning.
