Severe Weather Outbreaks 2014

a reply to: TechniXcality

LOL...I'm Scottish but born in NE TN...
spent most me adult life in Los Angeles.

I have always spoke the accent I am around since I've been
on the planet. I do not try to do it automatically comes
out & authentically...as I have had many Scots ask if I were
from Glasgow...asked farm mate where he was from & it
was Glasgow. It just happens naturally & I have no clue it's
going on that is how natural it is...& is the same with other accents.

Funny you picked up on it & I am probably close to saying
I sometimes do not pat attention & the what should be "my"
becomes "me" dead give away! Plus closest friend from Scotland
but our accents are different he's from the south & luckily for me
accent is north & my last name is famous Scot from the north...

Great catch dude...shows you've been around.
And again thanks for being so attentive on the thread!

Cheers

a reply to: TechniXcality

Thank you! A warning is NOT good & I hope Florida
is safe! Yes we share the same views!

Have you guys made a proposal yet for a regular
post? Probably too busy lately... Thanks MrLimpet
I did not mean to leave you out!

Cheers

Just got home from work, and the first thing is to check this thread! Glad to see everyone is updating it! You guys are the best.

a reply to: ColorLightShape

what would you think about a meteorology forum. for friends and family of ats?

a reply to: TechniXcality

Yes, I am all for that. I think it would be a really unique forum here. Interesting, informative and at times life saving.

Flood in Downtown Mobile Alabama

Does anyone know exactly how may tornadoes have touched down in the last couple of days? How unusual is this event?

a reply to: ColorLightShape

this event dose not rate high to previous analogs trying to find you some data from noaa


here you go


www.ncdc.noaa.gov...


and heres a song

a reply to: ColorLightShape

I don't believe that the number has been confirmed yet, as they are still surveying damage to see if there were multiple tornadoes in different areas etc. but I believe we've seen somewhere around 15-20. Possibly more. It's not that unusual, but it's the first major outbreak of the year. We've usually seen more tornadoes at this point in the year.

BREAKING 9:45p CT: Flash flood EMERGENCY in Pensacola, FL. Water entering homes; 5.24" rain just fell in 45 min

a reply to: TechniXcality

A meteorology forum falls into the Fragile Earth forum I think. Everything posted is a sub-forum so to speak and has a shelf life.

The weather guys/gals here in Ohio and the various weather related websites initially got me all spun up that this storm was going to be a major one here in Ohio.

But it pretty much fizzled out before everyones eyes.

All the indicators were there...and then nothing. They really haven't been that good at predicting the weather here for years and have been blindsided a lot recently. Especially this past winter.

Still, even though the front has passed without anything happening much, it doesn't mean that it won't as there is a string of storms following right behind it.

a reply to: TDawgRex

TdawgRex they give estimations because they have to. You fall into a paradox most of the time the models can predict and simulate conditions based on previous analogs, but sometimes they fail to see something that has changed in real time and cant calculate to accuracy, now we are getting closer every day. So as a meteorologist or model interpreter/ weather mathematician your job is to save lives, so you cant paint the most likely and or ( absolute) certainty of severe weather the models predict. If you do your wrong and someone has died, on the other hand you may over predict (and have people preparing for nothing) you do the math

No this dose not fall into fragile earth.

This falls under life safety, and requires understanding of earth and it's meteorological occurrence and possible consequences. A forum with trusted forecasters storm chasers and meteorologist is not a logistic nightmare in fact its very easy and could help those of us who don't have internet and or have loved ones your worried about,( the applications go much further).

a reply to: ColorLightShape

We already have a weather forum. Fragile Earth or even Chit-Chat. Weather is constantly changing everywhere. What's effecting you in Cali at the moment will not be affecting me for a few days...if ever.

Hurricane Katrina didn't even affect me weather wise other than some rain, but Hurricane Sandy did. (And I'm sure that many folks in New Orleans thought...better them than us again)

The weather has a finite shelf life.

As for saving lives, and I don't mean to sound cold, but it is, if some one is posting during a tornado warning or something like that and not at a minimum listening to a radio or checking the local weather, they don't have their priorities straight.

a reply to: TDawgRex
I understand there are different interpretations on how a internet web board should be run, I also understand there are those who believe they can and should enforce there beliefs based on "experience"

But I never knew there was a shelf life, regarding life safety. I also cant believe you would say a seeker ( more so a desperate person in danger). priorities are not straight based on there medium of information.

Im not sure your assertions are logical, but thank you for your genuine concern for ats and it's users

Amarillo Tx, im almost sure this is one of the latest freeze of the season
