@MissAshes92@JackRuddenWX Right, the afterwards is what was key and they had issued the WEA when NWS TAE had decided to expire the warning.
IS 247 and 251 are really good. I think FEMA should do a few workshops here and there.
Nearly 300,000 people live in Leon County. Imagine if everyone had their alerts on. They could also be confused on where the tornado is… “Parts of Leon”.
It’s not explicitly mentioned in our ICS training, but this is against best practices and can cause people to turn off WEAs.
@JackRuddenWX@MissAshes92 Would love to hear her thoughts. Can’t make mistakes with IPAWS - the public and professionals notice. This FL WEA is not great in my professional opinion.
Now if there was a wide swath of damage, an adjusted WEA would be useful and can directly advise people to stay home, etc.,
@CMcKayFL Exactly, that can become a PITA. I’m not a radio guy and don’t understand the reasoning behind not distinguishing coastal and inland. 012021 for Collier, next county is Columbia, 012023. There’s no 012022, not sure why but I’m sure there’s a reason why.
@amarkowitzWX I know a few current students at FSU that were focused on school work and other activities that just made it even more tiring. Plus it felt like everything was just spread out.
For those going to AMS in Houston - We better hope the EURO model is the outcome, keeping the worst of ZR north. The only time I’d be satisfied with a cold rain.
