The Bust Wars were real and ugly. Annoying actually.

Is it possible to limit how many reports someone gets? If a post is bad enough, someone will have reports left. Or to flag a post that’s been reported so that it doesn’t get reported multiple times? Maybe too much work but banning a word that is widely accepted in the weather world kinda sucks.

Dang, there was a time in 2024 when I was thinking about moving specifically to Muskegon, MI for a better climate and less tornadoes. And they get 2 tornado warnings within the span of a year.

I wouldn't wish anyone the misfortune of living in California... but I can open-source my proprietary software, Tornado-Away... it works the opposite of @JPWX's Tornado Magnet, because tornadoes seem to stay as far away from me as possible.

(I'm not bragging btw, because I've literally gone storm chasing before, specifically during monsoon season... there's just not much to see here in SoCal).

P.S. nice Reimu Hakurei pfp

Both today and this Friday got me checking property prices in central California again (like Frisno, Modesto, etc.) lol.
 
One last comment on this topic and I’ll shut up. I think it comes down to a weird stigma about calling b*st. Yes, premature b*st calls are annoying, but sometimes it’s ok to call it like it is. I’d go as far as to say I find it more annoying when we are 90% through an underperforming high-ceiling event with next to no red dots on the SPC map and nothing but linear slop on radar and someone mentions that the event has underperformed only to be met with a bunch of “How dare you say that! How egregiously irresponsible! This isn’t over yet!” type responses, even when it’s very clear it’s just not gonna happen.

I’ll never forget the morning of the Tylertown EF4, which was an event with a very, VERY high and historic ceiling. I recall that me and another user pointed out how multiple CAMs and radar trends were trending away from the modeled violent tornado producing long-track supercell swarm, and trending towards a still significant, but sloppier and more joe average Dixie outbreak. My god it was like we were accused of summoning the devil himself, and were basically told to zip it, disregard any hints at a downtrend, and “lock in” (lol). Guess what happened? A still significant but rather sloppy average Dixie outbreak that produced one violent tornado and a smattering of sigtors. The way it played out pretty much mirrored the CAM solutions. All we were saying was that this event may not reach the insane ceiling, and even though we were correct, people were NOT having it.

It’s one thing to jump down someone’s throat for calling bust, but it’s gotten to the point where pointing out limiting factors and downtrends causes people to get very reactive. I think it’s silly and I refuse to bend to that weird stigma. When an event does not reach it’s ceiling of potential, people should be able to point it out without pushback.
