Is it hard to follow a tornado or a sever storm live on air?

Asked by Daniel over 6 years ago

Generally not, Daniel. Radar information from the network of government radars is updated at least every five to six minutes and in as little as two. Newer radars coming online down the road will update in less than a minute. Great question.

Why even if your only calling for a trace or even sometimes flurries even a 10% chance do people flood the stores?

Asked by 24 hotdogs over 6 years ago

Very interesting question. There is a great deal of effort and study going on over the last couple of years by social scientists to understand how and why people react to various weather situations. Individual past experience has a lot to do with future action. Certainly the tone of the message can have a lot to do with reactions. Social media has also shown that is can magnify a message, often in unhelpful ways. As that research continues my short answer is.....people are complicated. Thanks!

Is "Tornado Alert" still a thing?

Asked by Carlene over 6 years ago

Hi, Carlene. Need a little more context, please.

Why have some scientists argued that the current rise in global temperature is causing an increase in magnitude, frequency, and duration of hurricanes

Asked by girlstarsccr over 6 years ago

Complicated question. The fuel for tropical systems is warm surface water in the ocean. Since the ocean and the atmosphere are connected a warmer atmosphere will create warmer oceans which adds up to more fuel. Hope that helps. Thanks!

What do you think happened. So we drove back from the store and when we got into our neighbourhood it started getting windy, heavy rain, and hail. There was crap blowing across the road. When we drove down our street. Nothing instantly stopped.

Sounds like you may have been right on the edge of a thunderstorm. They can have a pretty tight gradient especially has they approach. Thanks, Dan.

Instagram, lemieuxkeith,,I posted 2 original pics of the objects and I have some I did in black and white also

Asked by Keith almost 6 years ago

Looks like a couple of thunderstorm cells within the hurricane that have risen above the central dense overcast of the storm. Thunderstorms are made of volumes of rising air as long as they are warming than the surrounding air. These have risen above the others. The bright spots are caused by the sunlight hitting the storm towers, along with darker shadows on the other side.

Are you allowed to eat or drink something while live? Sometimes they go live for a long time but don’t drink anything. They must get thirsty at one point?

Asked by Tj over 5 years ago

Yup! Not always easy. I know there have been more than a few times while on the air in continuous coverage when I see someone out of the corner of my eye holding a cup of water. I try not to hug them but the motivation is there. Thanks, TJ!
