I was proud that you stayed on-air all night that showed that your true mission in life is to save lives. The viewers in Mississippi should feel blessed to have a station like WLBT that will allow you and your weather team to stay on like you did....I sure do!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your all you do and your committment to saving lives, besides that is more important any and every day than some silly TV show!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/>CJHumphrey<BR/>Florence, MSCJHumphreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733645282691067201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871630210368302281.post-19337767123275575762008-03-05T06:39:00.000-06:002008-03-05T06:39:00.000-06:00Thanks for your hard work Monday evening and don't...Thanks for your hard work Monday evening and don't allow the negative comments to bring you down.

I wonder if any of those nasty people thought of your family sitting at home waiting for you while you selflessly served theirs. What am I thinking??? They were only worried about someone they don't even know winning at Deal or No Deal. Keep doing what the Lord has called you to do.

I fully understand that you have a large viewing area to take care of!<BR/><BR/>Please, please start deleting emails that are rude and ugly.

Even though I wasn't watching WLBT all night, I knew that if I needed to know something about the weather, you would be there to tell me. After my parents went through the tornado at Union University, I'm a little more conscious of the weather.

Thanks Barbie for your weather coverage- if a tornado is ever headed toward my house- I'd rather be warned than miss Deal or No Deal!

You apologized so many times that even my husband remarked that you must have already been getting emails complaining!!<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry these people think that television is more important than tornado warnings ... but that's why cable has 100+ other channels to watch ;) No offense, but I got a little bored when Rankin county wasn't in danger & I started flipping channels between you & "The Tudors".

Yes it only takes once to experience the wrath of a tornado. Entertainment is ver much down the line when it comes to the lives of people we know and don't know. I live in Jefferson County and I have many loved ones thru out the state. This information is very precious to me regardless of the time spent taken away from TV entertainment. Keep of the good work. Ya'll are truly blessed for your concern and care for the citizens of Mississippi.sheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661119943373141654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871630210368302281.post-81672252364787175632008-03-04T11:53:00.000-06:002008-03-04T11:53:00.000-06:00I know you probably feel like you are danged if yo...I know you probably feel like you are danged if you do and danged if you don't at this point. You just remember that you were doing your job. Like you said, management makes the decision whether to stay on the air.<BR/> <BR/>Speaking of your sandwich for dinner, I was thinking last night about how hungry and tired all of you must have been...as well as the National Weather Service, EOC and ER folks and that I should have done something like ordered pizzas or some other warm meal and had it delivered to the studio. Of course, I thought about this at 9:30 last night (a little too late). We've been talking about random acts of kindness at church and little ways that we can be of service to others. For example, several months ago, we were challenged to pay for the person's meal behind us in a fast food line. When my husband rolled up to the line at McDonald's one Sunday afternoon and told the cashier he wanted to pay for the family behind him...not only was she shocked, but the look on the family's face was priceless. <BR/><BR/>People just don't expect things like that anymore, so it's so refreshing to see their amazement. With all of that said, on a severe weather night...how many people are generally working at the WLBT studio?Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077545502455383383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871630210368302281.post-72964759972357532172008-03-04T11:10:00.000-06:002008-03-04T11:10:00.000-06:00I kept my t.v. on WLBT all day yesterday until 10:...I kept my t.v. on WLBT all day yesterday until 10:30 last night. All of the people who have left negative e-mails will be sorry one day because they may be in a situation one day where bad weather comes to their area without any warning. I do not understand why some people think that t.v. programs are more important than trying to save lives. Keep up the good work at WLBT because without you and your other co-workers we would be in trouble a lot of times!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211057964170560520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871630210368302281.post-59887957531024877122008-03-04T11:09:00.000-06:002008-03-04T11:09:00.000-06:00Thank you Barbie and the rest of the WLBT staff fo...Thank you Barbie and the rest of the WLBT staff for what you are attempting to do. The arrogance of that one person attempting to speak for the rest of the viewing audience and basicly attempting to insult the ones who do like it. The educated folks do not desire that and only the uneducated do. That is how I read it. I highly resent that, because I view all of the other stuff on the TV as almost totally useless,a waste of my money, and a waste of my time.<BR/>All of you keep up the good work and God bless you all.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780416949780571587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871630210368302281.post-83933453688137527232008-03-04T11:02:00.000-06:002008-03-04T11:02:00.000-06:00Barbie, I just wanted to thank you and Eric for al...Barbie, <BR/>I just wanted to thank you and Eric for all of your dedication last night. While it is important to have down time, my personal safety is more important. Many people are also not so vain as to think that we are the only person in the world where that watches for weather information. People who only think of themselves and their own pleasures, need a reality check on life. It is only a television show, get over yourselves.<BR/>What you do is very important Please know that there are people in your viwing area that do apprieciate all of your efforts and dedication to our safety and well being.<BR/>Kim VerneuilleKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853301279098075110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871630210368302281.post-58746641765040463012008-03-04T09:43:00.000-06:002008-03-04T09:43:00.000-06:00Barbie we watched you all night last night and wer...Barbie we watched you all night last night and were very thankful for your information and warnings.
