¢ The tornado that hit southwest Lawrence in 2003 is becoming part of a debate over which Kansas City television station is most accurate when it comes to weather coverage. You can read about the debate in today’s Kansas City Star._But (Katie) Horner (meteorologist for KCTV-5) can also turn into a ferociously protective she-bear. When asked about WeatheRate, an independent firm that has for years certified KSHB’s Gary Lezak as Kansas City’s “most accurate forecaster,” she coolly replied:__”I’m not going to name any names, but I think about Lawrence, Kansas” – a reference to May 8, 2003, when a storm caused extensive damage in southwest Lawrence – “and I think about a meteorologist who claims credibility and accuracy going on the air and saying, ‘Lawrence, you’re not going to get hit by this tornado,’ as they were being hit by that tornado.__”And I think, how could anybody claim credibility when they just missed that? When lives are at risk, that’s all that matters.”__”Let the numbers speak for themselves,” Lezak replied in an e-mail. “We have been No. 1 in forecasting accuracy four years in a row now.”_
