Surprising.. when Johnny's up, nobody can touch him IMHO, but I can't comment on weather operations I don't watch and compare.
What I did notice in december is the tendency for a TV station to be preoccupied with outlying counties where the shits hitting the fan, and forgetting on the host county were 90 percent of the viewers are.
My last experience was that if I hadn't had Weatherbugs radar on, the killer that hit my town wouldnt have had much prep time. As it was, We barely prepared when the tornado was just an hour away, but it dicverted and trashed others a couple miles north of us... tho we had lots of trees down within a half mile.
Weathermen have these toys that can pinpoint rotations and its all dramatic television, but twisters so often attack in groups. Its possible 25 or 30 people wouuld have been spared if the local station had paid attention to their hometown instead of chasing the one on the fringe of their viewing area.
Can't really complain, for fringe counties would be SOL without coverage during warnings.
That's why I watch radar and not weathermen. We get storm class every time we have warnings for YEARS, so I'd think everybody in the heartland deserves a Phd in storm analysis just by living here.
Just sayin, but I still think Johnny Rowlands is the cat's meow!
