I know. It's real easy to be sarcastic and say check google ....when the initial media reports didn't have a time. I came home from dinner and was curious as to how quickly I saw the news reports and how old/recent the news was (the closer to a news event the more inaccurate and fluid a situation can be). It took quite a while for me to find a time and find out, yes, I saw the news within minutes of it happening. When you've got a report of a tornado hitting a major airport and adrenaline kicks in, sometimes reporters are doing good to remember to type "Friday night" much less what time Friday night. They eventually get that added to stories, just takes a while.
