Give me "Dr Love" Ed Wilson, a fo-ty of malt liquor, and a hatchet. Tornado will run in fear

Stay safe, gang.

Seems like central Iowa could be in for an interesting afternoon.

Because there’s a ******* tornado near waukee?

My dad and I sat outside watching it dance along. Sirens off where we live weren’t going off though which isn’t a good thing.

Yeah, KCCI really misses John McLaughlin for situations like these.

The point is WTF do you do when it is right on top of you. You issue watches and warnings to make people alert and paying attention. You sound the sirens or you need to have something else when it’s a get to your shelter situation.
Today and last night were proper uses of the sirens IMO. They were immediate shelter situations. The problem is they keep trying to make it a hey pay attention thing.

You'll complain about anything. I feel bad for your family.

My phone went off with a tornado warning this afternoon. I then calmly proceeded to open up twitter and search "tornado iowa". I found out the tornado was in Dallas Center and not in danger of coming towards me. Then I went about my day. It took 3 minutes.

Reports of confirmed tornado on the ground in west Waukee.

I bet Waukee had the nerve to run the sirens to alert people.

Well glad stuff is working for you. I got no alerts on my phone. I got one email alert yesterday nothing today. All I got was the sirens going off with no info when I looked. Normally I get the NWS push alerts direct to my phone. I also normally get push alerts from the news apps. Finally I should get emails for watches and warnings.

The point is something isn’t working with our warning systems right now. Heck I don’t even think my parents would have known had I not called them.

Weird gripe but I don’t like WHOs radar as much for some reason. Can’t disagree though, KCCI does miss John McLaughlin though. WHO will definitely miss Ed Wilson though too when he retires.

If you have the right app it takes 3 seconds. Love the storm hunter app.

3 minutes is more than enough time for a tornado to destroy your home and throw you into the next county.

F that - the Government can't tell me to Shelter in Place just because a storm is coming. It's my Constitutional right to assemble outside and view the destructive and deadly storm as it pulverizes my neighborhood.

I personally prefer channel 5 for severe weather coverage.

They luckily have 3 other staples that have been there a long time. I'm sure they'd all agree Ed will be a huge loss as well.

Trump said to open up the county and ignore sirens. After all there is only a small chance the F1 from Chyena will actully reach you.
Also, basements are optional as their is no proven science that being in your basement will stop the F1.

These break-in's are annoying. We are watching 08-2 because we want to watch MASH. Give a 10 second warning or run something along the bottom of the screen. If I care, I'll turn over to the main channel.

And the weather guys sound so dumb when they just keep talking without anything to say and even when they can't show you what they want you to see. Yet, they just babble on like they we are all going to die if they stop talking.

For the record, I was not listening to Ed Wilson. I would gladly listen to him talk about anything (or nothing) "after dark."

Got 3 dislikes and 2 disagrees. Makes me wonder if folks don't like MASH, don't like criticism of babbling weather guys, or don't like Ed Wilson.
