Well looks like last few days (St Louis/ Little Rock etc) has been a warm up/wake up for the broadcast mets, NWS offices, EMA, and public safety sectors....
In some 40 years of "following weather" I do not remember such a wide spread multi-mode severe event than this one as it begins to play out. The potential for "devistating/widespread" flooding to all sizes of rivers and streams over such a large area, coupled with a very high intensity severe storm event will be a challenge to keep up with.
Just a thought, AND IN NO WAY BEING DISRESPECTFUL to any mets, broadcast or NWS, I would give a thought that since they may be overwhelmed with multiple very dangerous storms, if you see something about to impact family or friends etc, get the word to them. Broadcast folks can only present so many items at once, and some things may be lost or delayed in the shuffle, especially if there is a threat in their "core counties". So let's all watch out for each other over the next few days...
OK off the "soapbox"
