Weather vs Sports

I was wondering if it is wrong for me to be so upset when the local TV stations interrupt a sports event to cover a Tornado warning in one of the many counties that make up the Charlotte region.

After a wonderful time with my Mom on Mother's Day, I got home and was actually looking forward to watching the Lakers vs Jazz (Duke's Carlos Boozer's Team). I have not got to see many of the games, since I drive to Atlanta in the evenings. The game started and early in the second period, here comes the "weather geeks" (a term from the local sports talk station). The radar indihttp://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=12596429#

I understand the need to inform people that their life may be in danger. The game was on WSOC TV and they have a sister station, WAXN. They were showing the weather on both. The station finally made the decision about 2 hours later to at least show the final 7 minutes of the game on WAXN. I don't understand why the Charlotte stations who have a sister station don't do the weather on one and the sports on the other.

This happen during the ACC Tournament when Duke was playing Clemson. WBTV did not show about 40 minutes of that game even though they have another station they could switch too or at least do a Picture and Picture deal on WBTV. I noticed that WCNC put the golf coverage yesterday in a small picture why still reporting the weather. That makes so much sense to me. I hope they will be quicker to give us in no danger the option of watching the sports we enjoy watching and if the storm is near Kannapolis, I can watch both in my own PIP window (Jordan Brown many years ago called it a pimp window) on my TV.
