Chris Bailey announced he’s in the works of setting up a place for “all things Kentucky weather.”

Wonder what all he has in mind… It should be a bit interesting, considering he has a nice amount of followers of his blog at the tv station…
currently there’s a simple placeholder set up, showing he picked up the space through GoDaddy…

Norman’s looking at the threat of some really nice storms…
I hope it pans out… (I know, I’m weird…)
