I watch old James Spann severe weather coverage videos for fun and to learn. He and his colleagues do a great job and the people of Alabama are truly fortunate to have him there.
This was 3 years and one day removed from the events of April 27, 2011. We were under the same high risk category as we were that fateful day 3 years earlier. Crazy.
Doug Ford? The High School Dropout ex-drug dealer who became the Premier(Canadian equivalent of a governor) of Ontario who tried to make new license plates for Ontario which turned out to be bad and had to be scrapped as well causing teacher’s strikes as well got booed at the Toronto Raptors championship parade? That Ford or, his dead brother Rob Ford who was mayor of Toronto and smoked crack?
ILoveStorms got a question for you. How much snow fell? Because where I live in Canada we had 3 straight weeks of 3 separate dumpings of 10cm (about 4 inches of snow) within a few weeks. As well a few weeks ago 45cm(a foot and a half) of snow fell in one day that’s nothing. And it can snow between the end of October and the beginning of May with the bulk of the snow between November and March and right across Lake Ontario from the town where I live is Rochester,NY.
@@johnoke1206 I'm not the one you asked but central Alabama I think only got about 1/2 and inch to 1 inch. But as they went back to science to look at what happened and why it had such a huge impact something weird in the atmosphere happened where as the snow fell it started to melt and it landed as rain and immediately flash froze so it made impacts like it was a crippling ice storm instead! And then on top of that once parents saw how bad it was getting everyone left work and home to get kids or just to go home from being at work etc and got stuck cuz all the wrecks and etc everywhere. So it was not good at all. People like to judge us in the south for not being able to handle snow without knowing what REALLY happened that day. It wasn't just any other snowy day
If you're talking about the polygons, it is a bit confusing to understand. For many, many years, the NWS warned on a county-by-county basis. In 2007, they shifted to the polygon system; warning for sections of counties. What's confusing is that the county name is still mentioned, and that fact that us Americans have the attention span of a fly, people just assume the entire county is involved in a warning without listening or reading the entire message. It's a big problem. At least James Spann explains what the polygon is and who's in it and who's not. Many broadcast meteorologists don't even bother to explain it and just assumes that everybody knows what the red and yellow boxes mean.
+TheTechies World I get that, I've seen lots of videos of James and he really seems to be the best of all of your weather guys. I guess it's also confusing because you get so many warnings and get blaze about it.
Mark Pentler Don't know how they do it there, but here there are several TV stations competing for attention in this TV market & this is one of the areas they do so in. This part of the US has a secondary "tornado ally" outside of the US Midwest. Back n April 2011, Alabama had 62 major tornadoes killing 260-odd people; so we're very sensitive abt storms. Spann is very good in his job
@@MarkPentler well there are people who don't know much about weather plus alot of people who move to Alabama etc every day that have never dealt with tornadoes or anything like that so yeah
Maybe cuz the upper Alabama counties like where muscle shoals etc is is considered the tennessee River valley counties so maybe they're under tennessee department of transportation??? I am not sure lol
Won't cover a tornado warning in "The Sholes" 1 county above their viewing area, but will cover 3 counties above their viewing area for a "extremely dangerous tornado" just because it has a couplet? Makes sense..
Matt Schlicht it does make sense. The storm they didn't report on was every weak an only produced an EF-1. Not a significant event and no need to report it to people in their market. The storm they did report on produced an EF-3 tornado which was conformed on the ground and was doing damage. This is a very significant and life threatening storms and since there were no storms on going in their market it made sense for them to report on this storm.

Same!! Im doing that now wow I do other work!

Me Goofy gotta love late april . . .

There is an active Ford Warning for Western Alabama apparently.
Wut

@@plazmatter they're talking about the Ford box that keeps popping up like at 1:14:10 (they're the sponsor for the station)

Good thing I was in Pelham during this but I don’t remember what exactly happened during this storm
Loving the commercials...lol.
Community safe rooms are something that need to catch on throughout the south .
Is I-22 the same thing as US-78? Because on my apps it still has that road as US-78.
It won't officially be I-22 until it is totally finished, which hasn't happened yet.
Yes it is i22
3 months to the day of snowmaggedon.

The idea that people in this part of the world can't understand a boundary drawn on a map is baffling to this Brit.
