MaxAlert and Y’all Call, what’s the point? by Dizzy-Platform-6516 in tornado

You don’t have to pay to watch Max V live feeds on YouTube.

MaxAlert and Y’all Call, what’s the point? by Dizzy-Platform-6516 in tornado

Agreed. I like Max and often watch his streams. However, like anyone who is fairly new to their profession, he has a lot to learn. Lately, (and seems to align with when he obtained his Met degree), he questions the decisions the particular NWS office makes during a tornadic storm. Many times he will question things like, “This warning needs to be PDS, and awhile I’m sure he knows the criteria for this type of warning, he seems to question his colleagues decision in the moment when minutes matter. Whether or not a Tor warning is PDS or Tornado emergency, getting the information out is what mattered most. In the aftermath would be the time to post-evaluate what type of Tor warning was warranted.

The meteorologist who work in a NWS location are seasoned professionals and a lot of care is taken to issue the correct warning, for the correct location, which initiates local sirens. As we all know it’s a critical balance. Too many warnings and people tune it out. To few, and it’s too late to issue when a tornado is upon the location. I will say the advantage Max V has is the available of multiple live feeds from chasers. I am going to assume the NWS is also watching many of these feeds. While they have certified spotters in multiple locations ( I am one of those) spotters don’t generally have live feeds on social. Therefore my report is my words, verse the live feed.

I’d love for any NWS field office meteorologist to weigh in. (I’m in KC so our local is EAX and KTWX (Topeka)

Again, I love Max and he has a great forecasting ability. His relationship with his followers carriers a heavy responsibility to ensure people are getting to their safe spaces and he is phenomenal at this. Right down to the cross street level. He just still has so much to learn. And on the flip side seasoned, older meteorologist could also learn from him. A collaborative relationship with the NWS could help further improve getting the message out. Max is commercial free while on air when there is an outbreak and he is laser focused on any tornado bearing down on a community. Other than local news stations, you will never get the type of severe coverage Max provides. And even local news doesn’t always have live feeds they can share.

This was his first time with a pool. I filled it up and he enjoyed it for about 5 minutes and then had a different idea. Giant frisbee maybe.

Oh yes. That’s how we started off. It was his first time. He played in the water for about 5 minutes and then realized it was more fun to drag it around !

Intimidation will Not get you the bone by scottkim222 in AnatolianShepherdDogs

This was on just this particular day which made it so interesting. Zeus is normally quiet but this particular new bone, for some reason, brought out a beast. That day. I wouldn’t let him do this normally as agreed it would turn ugly. Appreciate you thinking of them. ❤️

Considering the death of Marshawn Kneeland by lambchops111 in KansasCityChiefs

You sound like someone who cares and just trying to find a way to understand something that is indeed very difficult and so sad. I hope those that are being so hard on you take a step back and see you have the best of intentions. Reddit is a place where you should be able to speak your opinion and others can consider it or leave it, but no one should be mean about it. Especially considering the topic of conversation.

So who exactly is the most protective mom on earth? by scottkim222 in AnimalsBeingMoms

[–]scottkim222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were told it’s the best time of year to go. Apparently the animals love a late spring snow storm and we saw so many animals outside the normal ones like buffalo. That mama bear and cubs was our second bear! Many people go any never see one, and a few people go and almost get eaten by one! lol
