We hope you don't need this information today, but it never hurts to think about severe weather safety this time of year.

I think I need sleep. And to leave Twitter for a bit longer 😅

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@akemp_47 I wanna apologize for this comment as every part of meteorology is important. The anger hit so damn strong.

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@stateofhockey99 @akemp_47 I'm calm now

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@stateofhockey99 @akemp_47 Yeah I wondered about that too but it seems like they do that only when offices are down like warnings and stuff like that. Maybe they can change that in the future. Also I wanna apologize. I was just very angry as I kept seeing negative comments and felt bad for the team.

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@stateofhockey99 @akemp_47 So I just wanted to say that they can't be the lone single problem as there could be more

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@stateofhockey99 @akemp_47 But if you're going to do that with every slight event and they don't perform that way, that sounds stressful to the workers who were likely already there that shift during the day. Put that into spring terms, forecasters would be there for days if the conditions allow

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@stateofhockey99 @akemp_47 It was a slight risk nighttime event. How were they supposed to know that it was going to perform like that? Hell I didn't. And you're telling me that because one person didn't get it right that they dropped the ball

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

People are quick to judge. As am I. But to say such negative things when they tried their hardest and still got warning after warning out.... it feels wrong.

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

I'm sorry for any anger that is coming out. But as someone who has been working a job solo for 2 years, yes I'm going to give my sympathy to them. Although they could have had a backup plan, I still think it was better than nothing especially since it was low staff

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@akemp_47 @ThatAdjudicator I'm sorry did you want me to research or keep going?

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@akemp_47 And first of all, dont act like there wasn't warnings. There were plenty of warnings. I was up watching. They were actually pretty fast for how many people they had

[Samantha Herren @tornadokie]

@Brody_wx Yeah that was terrifying. I got up to head downstairs right as the winds hit
