A problem that I see that has developed here is similar to what happened up north with blizzard warnings.

My weather radio goes off so often and the NW and local weather reporters give tornado warnings so often that people are just starting to ignore them.

My weather radio woke me up one morning at 3:00 am to advise me of a frost warning. It was going off so often that I unplugged it.

There were many tornado warning on the television on Saturday and people were just going about their business ignoring the warnings.

It's probably that it's very difficult to distinguish when there is a real possibility of a tornado or just a slight chance so they give these warnings every time there is any kind of a thunderstorm.

It's becoming like the little boy that cried wolf. Unfortunately, some day the wolf is going to arrive.
