Severe Thunderstorm WATCH 3/15/12

Featured Replies

If you knew the difference between a common thunderstorm and a severe one you wouldn't even ask this question.

 

You're telling me lightning isn't a dangerous situation?

 

I'm sure RM would disagree after hearing her story about those girls getting struck by lightning.

 

There was hail reported in Louisville, was there a warning put out up there?

Okay let me break this down for you. You are trying to twist words that people have used to try and convince you about the other day.

 

First, I never said anything about lightning not being a dangerous situation. If you are going to be trivial then lets be trivial. Drinking and driving is a dangerous situation. Being an alcoholic is dangerous situation. Being a drug user and abuser is a dangerous situation so do you want to sound a siren for those?

 

Since you don't seem to know or understand the difference between the two let me break it down for you.

 

All thunderstorms have lightning and heavy rain. Some will even have hail. The difference is that in order for a thunderstorm to be categorized as severe it has to have one or all three of the following:

 

1. Sustained winds of around 58 mph.

2. Hail, at least, 3/4 of an inch in size or greater.

3. Tornado.

 

Now did your storm last night have any of these?

No, and neither did any of the storms in Madison County on thursday.

Oh really? I know now you don't know what you are talking about. I guess the hail that fell around Berea didn't happen? There weren't any winds that were around 58 mph? You live in your own little world and if it doesn't happen there it didn't happen any where else.

 

I'm done with this.

Sometimes people argue just to be arguing. That has to be the case here.

One thing I forgot to put in. Warnings are issued sometimes because doppler radar indicates hail and high winds are possible. These radars can estimate the size and severity of the hail. Also the winds. It is the same principal used for tornadoes. Warning will be issued because radar indicates that there might be one.

 

Oh wait we aren't supposed to have warning issued unless someone sees them. All I can say if you wait until then it might well be too late.

That's what HB said too, yet he keeps coming back. Like I said, it hailed in Louisville last night, was there a warning issued? That was a serious question.

If there's even a chance of a dangerous storm that puts my 3 children in harms way...the siren can go off whenever it wants. Clearly you miss the point of a warning system.

It's hard to ignore the ridiculous posts you make. It's almost like you aren't even serious.

 

Have you paid attention to any of nWo's posts? Is hail the only reason a Siren would go off?

There's an ignore feature on this website if you think they're so ridiculous. I've even used it before.

 

He clearly said hail was one of the reasons to make the sirens go off. There was hail in Louisville yesterday. I'm curious to know if the sirens went off?

I appreciate your concern, and I've heard of this ignore feature. I have chose not to use it.

 

Did nWo say just hail? Or we're there specifics to the size of the hail? And I don't know of sirens went off, I do not live in Louisville.

 

I honestly don't know if I've ever seen someone make such a big deal about a safety precaution. :lol:

I wasn't going to come back until I saw you deliberately leaving out an important part of my post. You really need to go back an reread it. Yes I said hail but the difference is the size of the hail that makes the sirens sound. If the size of the hail is not 3/4 of an inch or larger then the warning sirens won't be sounded. You are deliberately twisting what everyone says. This is further proof you don't know what you are talking about and are just looking to start an argument.

 

The sirens probably didn't sound because they are afraid to bother you.
