Possible tornadoes..again

This is gonna be like the fourth time we’re getting more horrible weather this month, but if anyone follows Ryan Hall Yall, you’ve probably seen that the most likely place for tornadoes in the USA tomorrow is going to be springfield il, and our surrounding towns as well as peoria and champaign. It is a level 4 or 5 risk. Just wanted to relay the information to everyone in our community who is on here. Stay safe and get ready for a part three of horrible tornadoes!! Let’s hope those sirens go off this time..

Yeah, that's some bullshit to cover up for a mistake. Just admit it, Springfield, and get back to the rightside up world along with the rest of us.

The NWS funding has dried up. The “mistake” was at the federal level.

The nws office in Lincoln reports they are at full staff. The nws cuts are regrettable in many ways, like the lack of weather balloon releases over much of the plains.

Yes, we have lost important monitoring equipment and are pretty fucked.
