This is my concern. That next time there is an actual tornado risk people will ignore.

That’s on them. Very unfortunate for the people tasked with picking up or mopping up the pieces though.

Ridiculous.

CWG was explicit this morning that having the ingredients for a bad storm didn't mean there would definitely be a bad storm. They said there might be nothing, there was potential for bad storms but confidence was low.

All the angst about not getting a tree down on your house and no power. Ohhhhh but the childcare....!
Get a grip. You knew it was inconvenient when you bred them.

I’m so grateful there weren’t severe storms - that so outweighs the minor inconveniences of an incorrect prediction.

The bolded is real talk

Whatever just came through Takoma was ugly af. I think we missed the harder hit of the earlier storm(s) though.

Yikes, PP. I hope everyone's okay!

If they thought the earlier forecast was going to be what this is turning out to be, I understand the closures/precautions.

This whole area mostly sucks at weather. We're great at mosquitos!

Yeah, we got some rain. Retty scary. Never had rain in this area before. Snow yes, but never rain that was completely wet.

Their confidence is low about every forecast they make
