THREAD: I tallied the #tornado coverage on the Saturday PM newscasts of ABC, CBS, and NBC as aired in the D.C. TV market (which, for this, I included teases). @ABCWorldNews Tonight w/@WhitJohnson was 22:04 vs. 30:00 due to #MLSCup

ABC coverage: 14:24
Due to the #ArmyNavyGame and local affiliate WUSA running commercials for a minute or two instead of the newscast, the 'CBS Weekend News' (helmed by @edokeefe) in total was only 10:42.

CBS #tornado coverage: 7:09
.@NBCNightlyNews with @jdbalart ran it's full 30:00 and sent Sunday anchor @tvkatesnow to anchor *on-site* in Mayfield, Kentucky.

Really commendable that NBC decided to send an anchor there.

NBC #tornado coverage: 17:17

“The Army and the Navy are the best of friends in the world 364½ days a year, but on one Saturday afternoon, we’re the worst of enemies,” mused Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1915, the year he graduated from @WestPoint_USMA. 1/4
Eisenhower could speak from personal experience. He started at RB and LB for the @ArmyWP_Football team that lost to @NavyFB 6-0 in 1912. Here, the young Eisenhower kicks a football at West Point in 1912. 2/4

Just before the Army-Navy matchup at the end of the season, he had suffered a serious knee injury. Despite being on the sidelines, Eisenhower retains the distinction of being the only president who participated in an #ArmyNavyGame. 3/4
