Dear Amazing Race,

You are supposed to be an escape, not a trigger.

Sincerely,

And that's not to say it's not a concern or that it means we should just shotgun warnings. But studies suggest that people take wx information seriously and consider it in their actions - vulnerabilities and societal obstacles are much bigger negative factors than FAs (or other meteo issues).

The overwhelming majority of SBS research I have seen suggests meteorologists way over concern themselves with false alarms

How does a person define a false alarm? Perception is such an important aspect of false alarms that many intelligent people don't bother to consider.

Hmm maybe a wall cloud from our Jonesville, LA mesonet site? I think it would check out based on radar at that time. @dlambwx.bsky.social

Back in my day, YouTube TV was only $35

Well this is one way to avoid having to play in the SECCG

In many ways for me, Twitter filled a void left by Google Reader way back when. Can anyone recommend a decent, independent source for news push alerts. Not too many, just the really important stuff?

There needs to be some sort of email revolution. The way things are going just don't cut it.

Well that escalated quickly
