and I completely understand giving people time to get sheltered, but both of those radar events were 45 minutes to an hour away from us for how the system was moving. The first one was confirmed tornado on the ground just north of Canyon. Our sirens are 15 miles north of there, at a minimum, and the system was moving at 10MPH. There were not any other supercell/ clusters with rotation in the system.
I've lived in tornado heavy areas through childhood- was in the 1979 biggie in Wichita Falls, TX; and much of my adult life. I know the destruction they cause and they will absolutely kill. I take sirens very seriously, but that shit last night was frustrating, especially the second one. Also the weather dudes here absolutely sucked ass, relative to "Doing the weather for tornado prone areas." I finally turned that shit off and tuned in to local NOAA and tracked the storms on the computer.
