1996 Tornado Special
One day before the tenth anniversary of a destructive tornado that swept through downtown Fort Smith, 40/29 aired a half-hour special that not only looked back at those events, but at how things have changed since then, with, of course, the obligatory look at how our station’s weather tech is the best on the block. For the purposes of the promo, however, I tried to focus more on the historical element rather than self-promotion, because there are several issues surrounding this event - the economic impact, loss of life, and the nearly complete lack of any warning whatsoever - that are touchy subjects in this area, so I tried to handle it with some reverence.
