Weather Channel Error - Jan 22, 2008 - 2:07 AM ET

Now we are three hours into the great TWC "meltdown" caused by a power surge at Weather Channel studios, and as an emergency measure, they play a prerecorded episode of "100 Biggest Weather Moments." During what would have been the commercial break, we see an old "Abrams & Bettes" commercial, followed by a blue screen, then the old satellite local forecast with Trammell Starks music in the background.

Also, we see a cameo appearance of Bill Cosby!

Anyone ever changed the channel on your VCR, or lost the picture on an old tape, and you see a blue screen? What you see is the system go to switch to a feed, which isnt present.. Why it's blue? I have no clue :P

a water leak caused everyone at the weather channel to evacuate the building, which caused a power surge.
