Things Winding Down...
* Today was a bad day that could have been a lot worse. Widespread wind damage was felt across much of western and northern Mississippi today - including some injuries out in the Mississippi Delta. In fact, the NWS in Jackson relayed that they have received 212 severe weather reports today...Definitely an active day!* We want to thank you for reading this and watching our broadcasts today. With our two TV stations (WTOK and Fox Meridian), our weblog, website, and streaming live coverage on WTOK.com, I understand that we have a big responsibility to provide you and your family with the best weather coverage possible. Also, we are the only TV station providing local weather coverage in the Meridian television market, so that only adds to the responsibility we have to you. We work hard to meet that responsibility, and we thank you for allowing us to serve you!
* Today was a great example of the changing nature of covering severe weather. The days of using only TV to communicate are over - today we use weblogs, streaming live web coverage, online weather watcher programs, and instant messaging to keep you well-informed. Spread the word! Participation in these products is high, but we'd like to see even more. We want you to be a big part of what we do around here.

Thank you, Josh, Charles, Renny and everyone at WTOK. We have really come to rely on you intimes of severe weather. Even my children who now live in Columbus and Starkville, call me for info and log onto you weblog and have E-Alert on their desktops because of the reliability of your forecasts.
Definitely. I wish that you and the radio stations would cover the storms that we have down here like that everytime.
Hey,
Thanks for the kind words. Katrina really opened our eyes as a station to the importance and viability of long form severe weather coverage. It's something we want to continue to do whenever the situation warrants.
Comments like these only help us to continue providing a higher level of coverage. Thank you for being weather aware and for reading and watching WTOK.
