Whatever. You can go hide in your hole for every sprinkle and light breeze. Make sure to wear 3 masks!
Thanks, I hope you never have to go through losing everything because of a weather event.
From experience, you learn to appreciate not getting any of the action after having your home flattened.

“A tornado”
My parents have had an F4 five miles north of their house and three miles south of their house and an F3 come within a quarter of a mile.
The devastation and loss of life from all of those makes you realize if you go about it like it’s a normal day, you’re asking for people to let their guard down and for the number of deaths to only be higher. You never can tell when it’s going to be a “letdown” or when a major tornado or two is going to wipe small towns off the map. As good as they’ve gotten with forecasting, there still is much uncertainty and I don’t fault the SPC for making people aware and causing them to react.

They keep talking about spinups and heavy winds on some of these small instabilities/hooks. Memphis channel doing stuff outside the viewing area. Most of my people's are in lousiville all the way up to Corinth. None have been directly impacted the last 10 years that I know cept for that Smithville/Tuscaloosa area and lousiville/Starkville area. When I mean impacted I mean destroyed homes and the death of a kid on my nephew's baseball team. That Tombigbee waterway area just west all the way to Hattiesburg and the western Alabama counties always get hit around this time.

This is the 2nd storm in a row that meteorologists have hyped up for the Baton Rouge area and there’s been a 10 minute thunderstorm. Right or wrong, people aren’t going to take the next storm seriously.

Eh, I’m being an a-hole and I shouldn’t. I’m glad nothing bad happened of course. I just don’t see the benefit in repeatedly having what feels like chicken little closures. I mean it’s been what, 2 in 3 weeks?
It feels like just more and more hype that doesn’t deliver (which is better than the alternative, sure) there’s got to be some balance

That’s how Katrina happened, a couple huge false alarms and people let their guards down

BR had a tornado in 2017 and you still have posters from this area still melting.
The little Westminster tornado in June 2020 was about a block from my house at the time, that was enough for me.

I particularly appreciate the bitching as me, my wife, and my young son have 4-5 areas of rotation headed our direction

This is a great post for the school closure thread

Hmm, local weather experts said expect hurricane force winds. Lmao

Then direct that frustration in the right direction. No one here can help, neither can anyone who makes forecasts.
