Cold front came through here last night, actually not even very much rain. They had
been warning that tornadoes could be spawned for the previous three days.
The local hyperactive TV weather guy got uncorked by a radar guess of "possible rotation" and spent the
next hour plus projecting on the map, re-showing and restating the same damn thing he said before.
Basically spent well over an hour "warning" everyone, AFAIK, nobody actually spotted any tornado.
These guys are apparently frustrated TV stars, once they get to "interrupting current programming"
they are the star and they will hang on to their tiny bit of TV fame as long as they can. No spotters
saw a tornado, no tornado warning, only the general tornado watches.
I had DVR'd a show, and 20 min in, this weather guy came on. I listened once, realized it
was not anywhere near me, and had happened an hour and a half earlier, FFWD to the end.
Dang, missed my show.
Certainly when bad weather things are REALLY happening it is nice to get some info, but a crawl
along the bottom would be just fine for me, after the first report. The sirens and my phone
never went off, so I knew it wasn't a problem around here, just the TV weather hypchondriac.
Seems like 95% are false alarms.
