Radar right now looks like you better head for cover.

Couldn't had to work. I'm the Guy watching Radar telling when to sound the Siren.

I hate when the weather radio says....."Blah-blah-blah and head for cover, blah blah blah...This is a radar indicated threat".

Makes me wanna steal the batteries out of that thing and put them in something useful, like a pencil sharpener. 🙄 

Get your butt out on a hilltop and point your face at the western sky, ya lazy bastards !

??   I watch storms roll in on the radar app all the time. I also use my own eyes and ears.  I love modern radar

Oh BS !

After the F3 ate my first life I gathered radar data records from NWS and NOAA so I could see what it looked like as it hit.

Just some scattered green and yellow splotches like you see every day on there, and a straight line SW breeze with a 2 minute long smattering of hail between Sedalia and Warrensburg.

I’m talking about specifics but when I see this I’m pretty sure it’s a front coming.

Yeah, the big comma had passed through earlier about 5:30pm, the twister hit at 10:15pm.  

No sirens, no warnings, nothing.  Had I not heard and felt it coming we might have gotten killed or injured really bad.  Had about 20 seconds to brace for it, and it lasted about 8 seconds.  Sounded like a 747 crashing into the house.

We have a problem being too fast to set off Sirens, then have trouble not setting them off. Have Spotters out during the day which I'm trained, then have the Want to Be Spotters messing up

If I get a call, get name ,Phone number area and what has happen. Keeps BS down.

We have one of those crackhead Facebook hero's 3 houses down the road, that loses his mind everytime a cloud blows over.  He has this car horn honking code.....that we all ignore.

3 long honks/twice means that he has seen "rotation".   And he sees rotation about twice a month all year long.  I wish he would OD.
