We have Oklahoma City for our weather forecasters. Norman is the hub of all the
Tornado studies and tracking around. Maybe that makes the forecasting more
dependable.
We usually listen to channel 4 around here whatever that affiliation may be.
Most of our work around on a ranch is weather related so we really do depend on it
daily to schedule what gets done. Every now and then you do get a messed up
forecasts but most of the time you can depend on them. When they do flub up it hasn't
been as drastic as some I have heard of on this list. Just little things. I have
really enjoyed the dependability (knock on wood).
