A guy could make a killing on predatory bleach pricing in the midst of this emergency.

Weak ass shlt.

Warning is for a doppler radar indicated tornado and not a physical on-ground tornado. Media doing its thing this morning.

The area of rotation has gotten slightly more condensed now.

Would you rather have them not covering a situation capable of producing a tornado in the middle of rush hour traffic in one of the nation's largest cities?

There's a difference in covering a situation with potential and telling people in the path of the storm to get to an interior room in the lowest floor and stay away from windows.

They guy on KPRC filling in for Britta said those exact words earlier this morning.

Since when is the media responsible for issuing tornado (or really any type weather) warnings?

Live in Katy and left for work right when the warning was issued. No issues driving just got an earful from my wife huddled in the bathroom with the two kids 15 minutes later.

FYI... The wife and kids are okay.

Crazy strong winds and a wide funnel cloud that came about half way down to the ground over me near Willowbrook. Blew a few transformers.

Their overhype had the wife calling me at work this morning as well asking if they needed to huddle in a closet. The storm was nowhere even near our house. (Yes, I'll have a talk with her about geography tonight)

The NWS issues the warnings, but damn, the media goes on an all out tear making it sound like the apocalypse is upon us.

I was listening to 740AM on the way in, and they were very cool and calm about it.

Having grown up in the Panhandle, I've hated the way sever weather, especially tornadoes, are handled down this way.

I turned off the annoying iphong alerts a long time ago. I prefer to get my tornado and amber alerts from the traffic signs as I sit in 290 traffic. Gives me something to look forward to.

Normally I am annoyed by constant weather warnings like I got, but I was quite happy I got them because the dangerous cell went right over me.

Dumbass driver going the wrong way.

There are two directions to run perpendicular to a tornado. Idiot.

Also, that's barely a tornady. Please.

Yeah my work is on Telge Road just off 290 and I was glad to be already at the office and off the road before that stuff rolled through the area.

You think that is bad, last week I left my phone on my desk and had to poop without the internet.

Is part of that path near the 99 / I-10 interchange? Would explain the moment in the storm where the rain suddenly stopped, complete silence, and then sudden wind gusts and hard rain

My NOAA weather radio started screaming early this morning for this thing. Literally everyone else in the house slept through it. Lol.

Montgomery County apparently opted every phone number into Smart911 when they went live. Phone was ringing off the hook this morning with tornado warnings and every time NWS update them.
