Again, you're a moron.

Oh, would a moron wait until the storm was over to assert retroactively that any safety precautions were dumb and useless?

DP. Yes, that's exactly what a moron would do.

No.

Watch does not mean a tornado was spotted.

Watch means you might end up with rotation in the storm clouds.

warning means that rotation has been spotted or that a tornado is forming.

Ok, well, my neighbor had her house cut in half by a tree a week ago. I’m going to continue to take precautions when 70 mph winds come through.

DP and I used to get these mixed up too. I now think of a watch and “watch out” there could be a tornado. Warning is like an actual warning to get inside to the basement.

I'm thrilled that people are safe, and trees didn't seem to fall on many cars homes or people. Thank goodness.

The one with “R” means to run (warning). That’s the more serious one.

Are you going into every single weather post to post this? Yes, we know about the house in Arlington that was cut in half last week. Give it a rest. This was nothing near that. Go find some more houses to take pictures of and submit to Arlnow. Oh wait, there aren't any.

Do we also know about the father of two in Dumfries who died last week when a tree fell on their house?

So you didn't learn anything from the last storm. Damage is very localized due to microbursts. Just count yourself lucky instead of being dismissive.

It’s the tiresome “nothingburger” poster. They’re posting from 1996. Pity them.

Oh, did you have a crazy storm at 3pm? 4 pm? 5pm? I think we all know who the morons are. Did you make this call for OPM or something? I hope you get fired.

God, you’re precious.
