The theme WPLG used at the time sounds so good.

I lived in South Florida around this time and they used to tell us to tape the windows in case it breaks it will stay together. Afterwards it was hard to get it off the windows I remember years later seeing tape still on it around the areas.

[@tbomb2265]

It was all a ploy by window companies to get people to ruin their windows and need replacements.

On screen graphics were so advanced for its time in comparison to other countries!!

Well Wolfson. Well Done!

[@RobertoLopezstudyis]

I remember this storm. It never it South Florida but I was in the 7th grade in Junior high.

[@FernandoZavalaTAT]

Interesting to see the old superstitions (taping windows, opening a window to equalize pressure) still being presented as accepted preparation advice. It took until Andrew and later for them to truly get debunked.

Future (Now Retired) KHOU Chief Meteorologist, Dr. Neil Frank.

[@tristonalexis2164]

In the beginning Dr. Neil Frank from KHOU 11😮 0:39 and KPRC 2 very own Khambrel Marshall a sports reporter 26:46 I remember both of these two because one is retired the other one is still doing this as a weather reporter which he ain't going to leave anytime soon through his contract with them. & one of my favorite toy store wish it was still here today for more than 60 years as former chain Toys "R" Us 24:27

Only left audio sound!

@@wolfsonarchive I guess archivists don't understand humor? The audio is only in the left channel.

[@wolfsonarchive]

@@CosmicCraw7 We understand humor when we hear it in the right ear. :-)

This theme needed to last into the 90s... Screw Good News.

[@FernandoZavalaTAT]

Good News is the goat though :p but the special "Hurricane Alert" intro from this package was used until Andrew (to my utter amazement)

[@dustinolvey8877]

Was that the judge from the Ted Buddy trial?

[@1thetvzone]

Good Lord, Michele Gillen worked at WTVJ, WFOR, WPLG, Bryan Norcross the same PLG, TVJ, FOR.... I'm trying to keep up whom worked at which station.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

if I remember correctly this turned out to be a big nothing

[@wolfsonarchive]

Skated through the Straits, grazed Cuba and sailed in the Gulf. A front pushed it into Florida south of the panhandle three or four days after this newscast.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

@@wolfsonarchive yep it was just a week before Thanksgiving too..so rare for a powerful "Cape Verde" storm

[@Matt561]

That's always a good thing

[@ColinFromSpringfield]

Were there ANY HURRICANES to hit Florida in the 70's and 80's?
