[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But how can they be so wrong? The models really screwed this one up. The problem is next time when they give a strong warning, no one will listen. [/quote]

Because the cells just didn’t explode the way they could have. Conditions that are perfect FOR a tornado don’t GUARANTEE a tornado. Just meant everything was in place along with a strong line of storms to create a worst case that we luckily did not get! [/quote]

But this was the first time in my life (I'm 43) I can remember anything premptively closing/cancelling for a forecasted thunderstorm. They acted like something was DIFFERENT this time. There are lots of storms that have the potential to throw off tornados - we don't cancel for all of them. Why did they think this on was so extra and why were they wrong?[/quote]

Are you new to weather? They’re always doing the best they can to predict. This is no different than when they think a hurricane will make landfall one place and it ends up hitting somewhere else, or they predict a cat4 and then it weakens and hits at a cat2. Or when they predict 2-5 inches of snow and we get 1 or 8. [/quote]
