What do you think would be something that if you or someone else who does the same job do that would get them instantly fired?

Asked by asdklfj over 5 years ago

Pretty broad and complicated question. Not one that I can really answer. Termination criteria I’m sure varies from company to company.

Do you overreact when there is a low risk tornado watch and act like its the end of the world?

Asked by A man named Sue over 5 years ago

Well...I sure try not to do that. Most of us try to create awareness rather than anxiety over severe weather.

As a teacher, I looked up from the playground to a cloudy sky. straight above were to clouds counter rotating. I called the weather service and they said it was a common benign occurrence but had no name for the phenomenon. Is there a name for it?

Asked by Robert Zachary about 5 years ago

I'll side with the National Weather Service on this one, having not seen a picture. They would have been more aware of the conditions at the time you called. My guess would be you might have seen some sort of wind maximum that created a vortex one either side. A loose example would be the wave of a boat. Thanks!

With all due respect I heard that newer people who go into certain stations are not as qualified as some of the older guys. Is this true, false, unknown ,or can you even comment?

Asked by The man over 5 years ago

No offense taken! I would say this is true in any job or industry. More years usually means more experience!

So that kind of made me think of another one for you if you don’t mind. Why is spring usually more active then fall? When their both transition and unstable seasons why does spring have it in?

Asked by Jamie almost 5 years ago

Thunderstorm instability is created by warmer air at the surface and colder air aloft, which makes air parcels rise, like a hot air balloon. Coming out of winter the air is colder aloft as the surface is warming with longer days and more direct sunlight.

What was your worst day on the job?

Asked by Sam over 5 years ago

Hmmm...any day with tornadoes is interesting. Severe weather is always fascinating to watch but the idea of loss of life always lingers in the back of your mind. Thanks for the question, Sam.
