7. Real time warnings for those in the path of tornadoes is also lacking.

Mar 13

I was following live YouTube coverage of Tuesday’s storms. (I know of at least two, “Max Velocity” and Ryan Hall, who anchor such coverage.) The one I was watching, in at least two cases for storms moving through Illinois and Indiana, projected developing tornadoes from radar and had storm chasers visually confirming tornado funnel clouds on the ground BEFORE the National Weather Service had even issued any watches or warnings to people in the affected areas.

The anchor guy expressed amazement at the lack of official warnings, but he didn’t get into it any further as storms were popping all over the place, in a long area from Texas to Indiana, at the time.

Appalling “service” from our NWS.
