I strongly feel this way about Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, which I am not convinced anyone takes seriously at this point. Tornado Warnings… imo technology has advanced to where we can be fairly confident based on radar that a tornado is occurring or imminently possible. As long as folks still take those warnings seriously, and I think they do, I don’t have issues with their pace. I do think it’s somewhat fair to say that tornado warnings the way you’d prefer them have been somewhat replaced by PDS warnings, at least in populated areas, which I’m not sure is good comms strategy. I don’t think most normal folks recognize the difference between a warning, PDS warnings, and emergency.

It’s worse than what I said. I meant two blocks from DCA. Not even the part of Crystal City with “elevation.” Thought about Falls Church but decided the commute would be too far, so Reston is way too much!

Think I'm moving to a new apartment in the fall. Out of the D.C. urban zone... into the Arlington urban zone literally 2 blocks from Crystal City. Might be a downgrade

I think this would be a good call but I’m doubting it happens. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I need to work my real job Saturday morning so I’ll be spared the smoke.
