The chance is there. I would simply pay attention to the weather.

“I watched that torpedo”

Was it a Bangalore Torpedo?

If the media cries wolf too often, they will be ignored. Hyping storms to get ratings and viewers ultimately increases the risk of people not paying attention when they need to. I will admit that it is a fine line.

A side note.
We now have storm chaser Facebook groupies now. While the photos and videos they provide are fascinating, the groupies are flocking to the storm chasers thinking that they have superior knowledge over the NWS and meteorologists.

just a coinky dink this is when the asteroid passes us

maybe we get some earthshakes along with tornadoes?

What do you “fuel” with ?

Book mark for validation.

BTT. I had a meteorologist friend in the Navy who was clamoring to move to the midwest after he got out, and I was wondering why, because he’d never lived there in his life. “It’s where it’s interesting,” he told me. Yeah. Sometimes interesting isn’t good.

In the National Weather Service midwest postings are highly prized.

One of the least popular postings is Elko, Nevada.

Seems very hyped up for a moderate risk day.

SPC is considering at high risk at 3PM CDT.

So in other words, its spring in Oklahoma.

LOL. As a resident of Oklahoma City, I use that line all the time. But to be completely honest, we are getting a little tired of having a target painted on central Oklahoma.

[newheart]

Take shelter and try not to be out during this time!

I live in OKC. One of the ways you know you are an Oklahoman is that when you hear about the possibility of tornados the very first thing you do is go outside to watch.

In Oklahoma Gary England is ALMOST a “god”!

He's actually too short to be a god.

[presently no screen name]

OK residents must be the most prayed up people of America! It is the only plus to that ‘painted target’ on OK.

[Marathoner]

Gary England (OKC) and James Spann (Birmingham) are the best in the business, IMHO.

[newheart]

You got that right. Even the atheists pray here (although they are not sure to whom.)

[RedMDer]

Less than $1.3k to Go! We can do this! Git-R-Done!

Isn't that what a "Tornado Watch" is all about???

Im driving to Siloam Springs tonite and back to OK. Hope the bad weather decides not to happen.

I don’t know about you, but I am becoming more and more irritable about the weather I Minnesota. It never warms up and the cloudy days are getting to me - plus we had winter storms every Thursday in April.

Yet, when I think of the poor people who live south of here, and are facing these horrible tornadoes almost daily, I then feel ashamed of my disgust with the Minnesota weather.

I do wonder whether we will actually have a summer up here. I am thinking that perhaps this plays a factor in all those storms in OK, MO, Ks, TX, AR, NE, etc. The jet stream seems to be stuck and trains over the same territory every day. Just my two cents worth.
