They always forecast an above average hurricane season unless there's an El Nino.

Severe Weather / Re: Severe Weather Season 2011/Severe Wx thread
« on: May 31, 2011, 06:55:34 PM »One thing that I have noticed is that we have had a high risk every spring since 2006.Here in the Southeast, though, like here in Alabama, we've needed a break in severe weather, as people are still traumatized by last month's tornadoes. One month ago today. Whenever we have a thunderstorm, the people here freak out.
Yes indeed and hot zones have switched, In April it was the MS Valley/Southeast and for May it's been the Plains while most of the SE has been hot and dry or wet w/ little activity in severe weather.
That's understandable, if I had went through the nightmare of riding out a EF4 tornado I would be on pins and needles whenever a thunderstorm or severe weather comes in afterwards too. Even if you didn't go through a tornado last month here, the cloud to ground lightning, hail and damaging winds has been impressive alone this year. It seems to get more violent with every passing severe weather season in the Spring I've noticed in the past 3 years alone.

The heart is not located in the chest, it's located in the left leg above the knee.

Joplin, Missouri has now been hit by a mile-wide multiple vortex tornado and the scene looks very and eerily similar to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Numerous fatalities and injuries in Joplin. Not even the hospital was spared. Fires are breaking out in the rubble.

I just watched them (Mike Bettus and Dr. Greg Forbes) in Platt City, Missouri, it looked spectacular! 
Both the funnel cloud (looked like a tornado on the ground) and the lightning.
Right now I am watching the lightning show with their night vision camera.

General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch
« on: May 21, 2011, 05:57:07 PM »That is correct. Only He knows when that time will come.Why is everyone so obsessed with the end of the world anyway? I'm a Christian, but I believe that God has full control over it. None of us know when it'll happen. Besides, shouldn't we all be focusing on today and how to make the world a little better for all of us? That's at least what I was taught to believe.
I agree. I am a firm believer and follower of Jesus Christ, too. None of us know when the world will end, and we can't put an arbitrary date on it. Only the Lord knows when that time is.
That is what Scripture teaches. I am a Christian, too. I'd like to say to people who believe this non-sense of Harold Camping tomorrow, "I told you so."

A couple of years ago, my local National Weather Service office issued "Significant Weather Alerts", which is just below the threshold of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and the Significant Weather Alert message scrolled in orange at the bottom of the screen. They have since changed the name of this alert to a "Significant Weather Advisory" and this alert no longer scrolls on the bottom of the screen. Why is that and is it possible to scroll that particular alert again?

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Local Forecast Video locations
« on: May 16, 2011, 06:17:17 PM »
I would like to ask why so many of the local forecast videos of the 3000 and 4000 are out of Atlanta and specifically Dobbins Air Force Base? It says "Conditions at Dobbins A.F.B." on many of those local forecast videos. Would that have anything to do with the location of The Weather Channel (which is not very far from there)?
