yeah, everyone around here is running around like their heads are on fire because of one of these alerts. I keep pointing out that we have yet to have one actually come through this season.

Our weather guys are fucking assholes. None of them can manage to get it right. I've been following some guys on twitter who know their shit and have nailed the last several while the ruhtards on tv sit there with their dicks in their hand.

Same here. For once they seem to have been right on with the last rounds of storms. We are on watch for another.
