Watching Rachael Ray Protects vs. Acts of God

The title is a bit of tongue-in cheek hyperbole. To my knowledge, being a fan of Rachael Ray provides no actual protection against weather events or other acts of God. However, watching "The Rachael Ray Show" did turn out to be a blessing for one Charlotte, Michigan, woman.

Char Williams was having a run-of-the mill morning, watching some Rachael Ray on the tube when it all went down:

"Williams was in her home on Otto Road just south of Vermontville Highway on Aug. 24 when the show was interrupted for a weather alert.

That alert gave Williams about 15 minutes of warning before a tornado struck less than 100 feet from the chair where she had been sitting.

"They came on and said if you live north of Charlotte, get in your basement, and so she did," said her husband, Willy."

Basically, you might want to think twice before you join the "kill your television" crowd or decide to skip a Rachael Ray viewing! You can read more about the near-miss at the Battle Creek Enquirer site.
