"Oh the weather outside is weather."
Was there mass pandenomium over the weather and I missed it?
Last Friday night there was a tornado warning in Franklin and Licking county and a severe cell came through Columbus, then Reynoldsburg and then Etna. The tornado sirens sounded, etc.
Oh that...yeah. While I appreciate the heads up, I thought they are suppose issue a tornado watch until a funnel cloud is seen. They did go into Defcon 1 and the weather people got over excited on TV. I'm afraid that this is going to create a "crying wolf" effect and we'll ignore a real threat.
It was sort of like the first time it snows and all the schools cancel and people forget how to drive. A change in weather causes panic.
Agreed. Nothing wrong with being aware and being cautious. But sometimes it just spirals out of control.
