CheesyPoofs Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Oh good lord. People who don't know what they are talking about should not be allowed to be broadcast scientists. Who was it? Somebody from WJLA I presume? Doesn't WTOP use WJLA mets? I'm curious who it was too. They usually either have Doug Hill or Bob Ryan give the forecast during the evening rush, but I can't imagine it was one of them. And yeah, they use WJLA mets.

Indications are that the Yellowstone Volcano has relocated underneath the DC area. Katie's mspaint entry is going to come true if that is the case.

WinterWxLuvr Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Biggest facepalm moment so far...a met on WTOP radio saying that a 2.8 magnitude aftershock was "half as strong" as the 5.8 primary quake. The Richter scale is LOGARITHMIC. A 2.8 is 1000 times weaker than a 5.8. Bad sh*t happens when novices jump into the world of mathematics. For some reason that reminded me that tomorrow is the first day of school. Sounds like the DC area was pretty wild during this thing. We got a really good shake here as well. I've wonder why we're not hearing anything from the posters we have down in the Charlottesville area. Maybe I just missed them. I know this was exciting, but I'll admit that it also scared me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
