Weather Channel Hurricane Lili 2002

[Justgetout]

The Alert Mode music was very haunting, and that is exactly why I liked it so much. It meant even more to me when it came during PDII, since I love big winter storms.

Before NBC got the Weather Channel, they didnt talk bout so called global warming as much as they do now. NBC love glabal warming, climate change or whatever its being called now... I lived through Lili in New Iberia.

Back before NBC ruined the Weather Channel, nostalgic. Lili was a dodged bullet.

Hurricane Lili was when the Weather Channel went into Storm Alert mode for the first time

There is a new website dedicated to returning Dave to the Weather Channel, with feedback links for execs at NBC/Universal and The Weather Channel:

If I first saw this in 2002, the gloomy music would make me shit bricks, but now it is pleasant. Pre-2005 Storm Alert for life!

I remember when it was on Alert Mode in the February 2003 Northeast snowstorm. I got SO much snow in that storm.

Alert mode...when did they change to Storm Alert?

[Vlad788]

They sometimes call it "Storm Alert Mode" as well, but Alert Mode was changed to Storm Alert in 2003.

[Intelliguy]

I remember when they went into Storm Alert in 2004, some of the OCM's still mistakenly called it Alert Mode.

keith westerlage on camera? TWC must have really been short

[WeekendScope]

Keith was also on TWC whenever Hurricane Ivan moved through during the overnight outlook.

[Intelliguy]

He was also on once in 2005 with Dennis Smith.

[JJGSeven13]

@Intelliguy I miss Dennis Smith... he and Mike Bono used to be my favorite OCMs.
