A thunderstorm? In Wisconsin? In the middle of June? You have GOT to be KIDDING me.
.
I think a more newsworthy topic would be why WKOW Channel 27 doesn't post storm warnings on thier offshoot digital television channels, and why Bob Lindmeier always has to stand there, smack dab in front of the radar graphic.
.
Just waiting for someone to post "My prayers are with you", as if they have an inside connection with Jesus Christ.
