Voyager Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Massively disappointing tornado watch list gets another check I can do you one better. I was directly in the path of a warned cell that weakend sigifcantly just prior to arival in my backyard. A few rumbles of thunder and very little wind was the result. If it wasn't for the intense rainfall, I'd have called it a dud as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Massively disappointing tornado watch list gets another check Really didn't see the need for the TOR watch in the first place. There really wasn't anything that signaled significant or even moderate potential tornado event yesterday for the area. Always looked like wind would be the main threat in the event imo. I think spc needs to do a better job of issuing tornado watches around here because a lot of time they are issued on the chance of one or two tornados while the predominant threat is usually wind. I think a strongly worded SVR watch that brings up the potential for one or two tornados is the better call for the public. The public's opinion around here is that TOR watches are a complete joke because of how often they yield just little to no tornadoes. Some serious cry wolf is beginning to set in and I fear that if this region ever does see a significant tornado threat(though rare), the watches would largely be either ignored or not heeded.

Exactly, I basically ignore tornado watches around here (Horsham) because they never pan out. The public in general ignore them....people take Severe TS warnings more seriously because they do happen quite often and they do pan out somewhere in the warning area.

Birds~69 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Today and tomorrow are the reason I dislike late Spring / Summer. The sun isn't completely up yet and you can feel the humid / heat kicking in. So you just know today will be a mess....haven't used the A/C much so far but that will probably change starting today.

Animal Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Got mauled yesterday evening in highland lakes. first true thunderstorm of the year. On the fence if I consider it severe, but the cloud to ground strikes were impressive. Thunder was amazing in sound. Scared the heck out my dogs. 0.65 of rain is 15 minutes. pea size hail. wind was decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
