(FEB 17) This year---WBAN has begun the process of  archiving past footage and photos from all the coverage that we have provided throughout the nearly 10 years of being on the net. In this video streaming that was “Behind the Scenes”,----it was an all-women’s boxing card that I covered in Austin, Texas.

The weigh-in was held on November 15, 2001.  On that day, while pre-fight interviews and weigh-ins were in the process of being done by WBAN, other news media,  and a television crew, we found ourselves in the midst of a tornado! I,  among all others ended up in the basement of the hotel.

 While waiting in the basement, the electricity went out, and it was dark, other than the emergency lights that ran off a generator. The video streaming is of the “Behind the Scenes” at the weigh-in, and some of the footage I shot while being in the tornado inside the basement. I also shot some video outside of the hotel where there were flash floods going on right next to the hotel.

The weigh-in there are glimpses of Sumya “Island Girl” Anani, Fredia “The Cheetah” Gibbs, Ada Velez, Chevelle Hallback, Mary Elizabeth Ortega, Gina Nicholas, Snodene Blakeney, and more much more..
