When do they leave? Every time there is a thunderstorm? You only get minutes notice of tornado. You think being in a car is safer?

The 2011 storms were warned 10+ minutes out with videos and radar confirming speeds well into the F4/F5 range. Some of them crossed the entire state or parts of multiple states. These are long track, super cell nightmare storms that are pretty unique to Dixie Alley and N TX/OK for the most part.

Everyone in the thread last night could tell what that cell was and what it was gonna do to any town it touched.

I’m not saying it’s always applicable, possible or advisable to tell people to leave. But with those monsters where you can I’m saying if you don’t explain to people what the likely outcome is if you stay you haven’t given people what they need to make an informed decision.
