***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

This is a huge area that needs improved IMO. Unfortunately without legislation I don't think anything will happen. Google Home devices, Roku, Fire Stick, Chrome Stick, Alexa's. They all know your location, there is no reason they shouldn't broadcast something when a warning is put out.
Regarding satellite radio, etc. seems this is kind of a "be careful what you wish for" thing. People didn't want their listening to be interrupted by commercials, etc. and to choose what they want to listen to. If you choose no interruptions, you should get no interruptions.

Exactly why I agreed with him buy not fully.

Same reason I use spotify, just music no interruptions
 
I know many people who never watch 1 second of any news. I know numerous people that had no idea storms were coming. These are not dumb people they are just in their own little world dealing with their stuff.

Another thing, satellite radio is huge and you don't get NWS warning interuptions when listening to that like you do FM/AM radio.
I haven’t watched more than 2 minutes of news in close to 10 years. Got so tired of all the politics I quit watching.
 
Sounds like a line of damaging winds will hit the state late tonight / tomorrow morning... Looking at weather models and it does look to be a strong line of storms... Will be interesting.. Don't be shocked to wake up to the outdoor sirens going off for high winds.

Her employer should be held accountable then. No reason they couldn't have let her go earlier.

Her line of work doesn't really have a track record of any sympathy to their employees so that doesn't surprise me.
You're going to wear out your shovel.
 
You triggered guys can dumb my posts in secrecy all you want, but answer a simple question. Why are people out when the news is frantically begging people to take shelter and they are reiterating how dangerous the situation is?

I'm sorry but there's no valid excuse for anybody unless you are Reed Timmer.
People still have lives to get things done and there are a lot of people who don't follow the news or daily weather besides knowing it's supposed to storm for the day. People were also probably on their way home at that time as well.

Same for streaming services, I use Pandora/Spotify more than anything. I was just getting on the road to head home when it was hitting Greenfield didn't know about it until I was home, granted I was on the east side of the state Tuesday.
 
Yup. Quick glance at the gauge at 30 west of Tama shows it two feet below it's historic crest. Now that is a decent size valley so two feet is a crap load of water.

There is road work being done on highway 63 from just south of Tama all the way to highway 6,a stretch of about 15 miles. Locals can't go thru Chelsea as the road is now flooded over there too. Gonna be a mess there for some time.
