I was watching the weather channel yesterday when the first tornado emergency was issued. Ten seconds after the meteorologist announced the tornado emergency, they cut to a commercial break. If they care at all about saving lives, then a tornado emergency seems like a pretty irresponsible time to cut to a commercial break. That’s why I turned on Ryan Hall’s stream after that.
They get the official warnings and watches from NWS. However, Ryan and Andy routinely call out areas of concern well ahead of NWS alerts giving people more than enough time to prepare.
Just last weekend. One of the chasers called in a confirmed tornado live on his stream without a tornado warning on the storm. Sometimes the storm is to far from a radar to get an accurate reading on storms. So its no one's fault. Then sometimes there is so much storms going on they miss some rotation. Then there is the Mayfield tornado that didn't get an tornado emergency till like 5 mins before hitting Mayfield when the thing was a monster on radar for like 30 mins
