People that are still in College Station: the owner of Puppy Station has been abandoning puppies in neighborhoods in Bryan and CSTAT. If you see a puppy, take it to a animal shelter or keep it. Temperatures are cold, so please rescue them!

Seeing a LOT of people mad the TORE wasn’t extended into a population center. Here’s our real warning criteria. When I went to RAC, it was plainly said that population should not be a part of the decision making for a TORE. This all stems from extensive research.

Do y’all understand how exhausting it is to be praised one day for doing a great job, and the next being torn down over ~potential~ ratings? Trust me, survey teams spend HOURS looking for all signs of higher ratings. We want to be as accurate as possible too.

Will never understand why a “bust” is a bad thing? Like oh nooo devastating tornadoes didn’t destroy portions of the country? The forecast perfectly modeled the trends of what was expected before the event. There’s still a lot unknown in meteorology as it’s still a new science.

@angelikaoles I view Pits in the same category as Malinois and Dobermans. Protective dogs that need constant training. Looking at US statistics, pits cause 85% of all fatal dog bites. People saying “not just this breed” or “my pit bull is nice” do the breed a disservice. They need training.

@amrshafira And the lack of experts is just infuriating!! Like the one lady with the satellite photos of “debris”? She literally just googled Boeing 777 and overlaid the image on a super grainy satellite photo. Also they kept claiming AWACS were in the vicinity but never provided PROOF.

@Tunanader55 Important thing to understand: Norman has dozens of Mets available to help them survey since they are located in NWC. No problem with that, but every other office doesn’t have that many people available. It’s not that offices are lazy, it’s that we are severely understaffed.

@ILWXTorSpotter To provide some insider knowledge, there are a LOT of higher ups at NWS that specifically say to not address situations via social media until surveys are complete. Not saying I agree with it, but it’s likely not that they’re ignoring it, but are waiting to have all the info

@Healey_Photo It comes from our forecast grids. When dealing with thunderstorms, we do have an option to click “T+”, which adds severe threats. Sometimes this can be super overdone (putting wording like “tornadoes expected” in a marginal risk) I usually reserve this more Moderate + events
