We broke the streak we had going since 2017 where we had no EF 4 tornadoes yesterday in Alabama. That violent tornado killed 22 people at least.
I wish NOAA weather radios were thought of as critical as Fire Alarms in homes and schools and businesses..
I happened to see a CNN caption about the tornadoes here in Alabama a couple of days ago and it stated something like "They only had a 5 minute warning." I live here, we knew 24 hours in advance that there was a high likelihood of tornadoes Sunday. The weather forecasters had been warning for a full day to day and a half and had also been mentioning the chance for a few days. There were tornado watches issued in advance and then tornado warnings for surrounding areas. There was far more than a 5 minute warning that they was likely going to be a tornado in the area. The problem is people just don't take it serious until 2x4's and insulation are flying through the air around them.
So anyway, no CNN, there was plenty of advance warning and far more than 5 minutes.
