yet another system this late summer/early fall where it isn't a one day event, but somehow stretches into multiple days.

I'm not minding this one too much - we have softball tonight and I'm hoping we don't play. I want to go home, relax, and catch up on TV instead.

UMD should just admit they made a mistake...instead they are claiming they had a responsibility to warn the public. That defense doesn't stand up here...they didn't even make an attempt to verify the warning via NWS. They pretty much head Accuweather fear mongering and then issued a very exact warning message. This is how warning fatigue is born.

Apparently, the UMD false alarm was generated by Accuweather alerts to the school.

What is up with Accuweather. They were the company that failed to send alerts to FCPS last April when we had the NWS tornado warnings. Resulting in many kids standing at bus stops and walking during active Tornado warnings.

Accuweather has never been the poster-boy for accurate weather. Ironic considering their name.
