ALhurricane Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 They've been really hard to listen to throughout this whole thing... And of the mets just says, "Hard to tell where the circulation is, but I'll guess...." That is too painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Channel 4 even have a velocity pic?? I watched for about 3 minutes and just saw reflectivity. Guess that they don't have Doppler...or that they had 2 guys on there that don't know what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me though....thank God. When the radars aren't updating on the web, based on my experience, it's usually either web based or comms based. With all the storms bouncing around, my first thought was a comms outage. Since it's not a comms outage, at least the warning process continues unimpeded, which is the important part.

And now you know what part I do. I am one of the comms people for Headquarters which sends the info around the country and world.
