Weather reporting STL
Yesterday a tornado blew just north of my neighborhood. I spent 12 years in Wichita so kind of used to it.
I can see issuing warnings, but to make it an all night event is ridiculous.
One station keep replaying the radar sequence patting themselves on the back for predicting there was a tornado in the return signature. They never apologized for reporting a "Mass Casualty" situation at the Holiday Inn in Earth City (FALSE) or reporting the roof was blown off a Hotel/Casino, it wasn't.
The other station has a chief meteorologist, a former Iowa Pork Princess, who obviously never spent a minute in a physics class. She hasn't learned squat about weather even though she has been doing it more than 10 years.
Everything is so hyped and over exaggerated it is counterproductive.
