Thank you very much (WSLS) on the coverage of the tornadoes, granted i myself was not effect buy them living in salem virginia people were able to feel safe about loved ones our even people they knew in the areas that were effected buy the horrible storm. That i think is real testoment,of how a station can really care about people in this area. I don,t get it people having a fit not being able to see their tv shows honestly. I myself being 25 without a college degree even i know better. For all those comments for no concern to others u know it makes me think how ignorent some people can be and thats just makes me sick.  Inconclusion for those who were affected buy the storm our loved ones that u know were effect buy the storm just know in ur heart their are still people out their that care about youand ur families (were praying for all) thanks again (WSLS)

bmbqueen, your post is a disaster. Some people care about human life more than sitcoms.

Jeff and Patrick, Thank you for keeping our family informed.We live in Penhook and we were glued to the television until we lost power, and after that we felt as if we had lost our best friends.We had now idea what was coming next, had it not been for your coverage we were going to Gretna and would have been right in the middle of the tornado. Keep up the good work we feel like we owe you guys our lives. This is what local T.V and Radio is for to keep the communities they cover informed in times like these, for those who cant live with out one night of Earl they need to get a life. Thanks again.

These people need to get over ther lost hour of TV sitcoms....while I understand it might be frustrating and maybe the program interruption could have been a little better.....I completly back-up Channel 10 for their up to the minute coverage. It can save lives and that is a lot more important then some TV show. I volunteer my time to spotting storms to provide physical information to confirm what the radar shows.  I chose to use my time and resources to assit the NWS with accurate “on the ground” information.  I do this even for the people who’d rather be watching programmed TV. I bet you wouldn’t complain so much about it if what you saw on channel 10 was the one thing that gave you the information needed to save you and your families. Stop your crying about it and be thankful that your house wasn’t affected by the storm. So while other people are picking up the pieces of their home and life go watch you precious TV shows.

The above comments are just plain hideous.  I thought that Roanoke had a well educated population.  Obviously not.  I think that if you are more concerned with missing a few programs than your own life.... It may be time to get evaluated.  Those guys do an excellent job and my family appreciates the warnings.
