Tornado Week 2010
« on: March 06, 2010, 11:26:41 AM »
Well good news is that TWC will be airing Tornado Week much later than they did last year. The only problem is they're advertising it nearly a month before it begins (April 4th). :rolleyes:

I wonder how much different this year's version of Tornado Week will be compared to last year.  My guess is not that much, but I would like to be pleasantly surprised here.

I remember this is what TWC used to do during the XL daze. They always had Tornado Week in the first week of March, and I remember seeing ads a month in advance like this, sometimes more. I like how well put together the ad is, this go around. Much better and less annoying than last year's, imo :yes:

IIRC, the first time TWC had a tornado week was in 2004, and I remember it being the first week of March like you said. :yes: Before Tornado Week, TWC would just air their StormWeek miniseries every couple of months (which I really liked).
