  • A website update occured last week that rendered some of the page display styles obsolete. If you have logged onto the site and are experiencing a strange or messy appearance, it is likely due to this factor. An inadvertent mistake in the meantime likely made this issue worse. It has hopefully now been fixed. See this thread for details on the fix. --Jeff

The radar was WHIO-TV's converted aircraft radar. I'm pretty sure it was an AVQ-10, which would have been a C-band system.

The narrator was someone named Fred Collins. It would have been really neat if had been John Facenda!

Irwin Allen and the Apollo program influenced this movie I think.

Come on Weather Channel…
