Each morning, at the end of a midnight shift, around sunrise we would tape our daily forecast. At the end of that forecast we added an agricultural supplement for farming operations. Well, you tend to get squirrely after being up all night and one morning the 3 of us decided to give that morning forecast a little extra pizazz. As one guy read the forecast into the microphone to tape it, the other 2 stood in the background and made farmyard animal noises, chicken, cows, even little piggies.  It was a masterpiece!!  The taped forecast remained on the weather radio for about a 4 hour period. Don’t know how many of our listeners actually heard the broadcast but there must have been some smiles and raised eyebrows over the incident. We do not know to this day whether or not our boss was aware of what we did, which we have always referred to as the Old MacDonald incident… and now you know the rest of the story… OUTBRK: Storm Chasing Simulator  10% OFF for LIFE when you subscribe to STORM-net and HurricaneVision at https://data.mesoscaleforecast.com/account/membership and use the code STORMFRONT at check-out Shop Storm Front Freaks and Outbreak/StormCat5 gear exclusively at thewxstore.com Subscribe to us on YouTube.com/stormfrontfreaks for news when we go live with Storm Front Freaks Outbreak coverage of storms, tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards with Meteorologist StormCat5 (Brady Harris) #weatherfools: Phil - Not Serving the Canadian Bacon Phil - Blue Pill Storm Phil - Give it a Coat that Works!
