No 'CSI' for us

For the second week running, because there's a thunderstorm over in Oklahoma. Actually, last week KFSM pre-empted at least two hours of prime-time programming for wall-to-wall coverage of storms that never produced a tornado, but they taped and rebroadcast "CSI" and "Without a Trace" starting at 12:37 a.m. Oh, well. CBS will rerun them a few times. But having gone live for more than an hour last week they pretty much went into tech meltdown by 9:30, when the storms fizzled out, superimposing their webcam shot (a black rectangle) on the radar, sputtering and spending the last 15 minutes justifying their coverage. At least it looks like they might have a real tornado(es) this week. Or maybe not. Here, we're about to get lightning, so we'll unplug the gear.
LATER: They showed the last five minutes of "CSI." Then they interrupted and pre-empted "WaT" for about 15-20 minutes for a "life-threatening" storm. Grrrr.
