Sirens run on cycle to prevent damage. -

Another good example of terrain not being a shield from tornadoes. It's not breaking them up. (See also: Carver Rd, Winterset) -

Radar rotation has gotten much stronger and tighter over the last 10 minutes. Right over Omaha/CB border. -

Starting to move into peak season for Iowa. June is most common month. May is very active as well. This chart is Iowa tornadoes only. -

The other part about this argument that never makes any sense, is even if you quit warning radar indicated storms, and only warned storms with tornadoes on the ground, it's still likely that you personally won't be hit by the tornado that your warning triggered. So the people bent out of shape... -

Beyond the explicit statement of radar indicated and observed? And in addition to Tornado Emergency? People already confuse Tornado Watch vs Warning. -

Read the Joplin after-action sometime. 150+ deaths, a significant number of them from survivor accounts and other evidence died on their way to shelter because, despite the warnings, they didn't act until they personally perceived physical danger. Waiting until it is on the ground or chewing up... -

Oh man, I have an entire chapter of the book on that day at work. Had a boss straight out of The Office at the time that added an extra carnival of insanity on top of the whole mess. Sometimes I still can't believe everything was on the up and up. We had to be in a sitcom or some hidden... -

MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***
I don't really want to get into stats fight here, and I don't really care much either way about the decision, but... Joe Ryan gives up homers left and right, he wasn't going to keep that lineup in the yard again anyway. Plus, that decision isn't why they lost. They lost because for the 5th...- FDWxMan

It's just odd that they immediately mentioned "Patella Tendon," kinda like they already know something. I mean, normally you just say "knee soreness". Calling out specific ligaments or tendons immediately usually is not a good sign. And that's s surgery that puts him out until at least the...- FDWxMan
