[Skywarn] This is NOT spam. (signed: John) Re: Chaser Hordes Make the Wall Street Journal

[John Hutchison]

There is a lesson here for all who participate in SkyWarn.
 
The key phrase herein is:
 
"Don't TELL me how safe you are when you stream VIDEO showing me you
are not."

Chris, et. al.

I appreciate the comments on the list regarding this topic.

http://meteorologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2012/04/wall-street-journal-on-storm-chasing.html
is a blog of thinking and
http://meteorologicalmusings.blogspot.com/2012/04/weather-tourism-and-storm-reporting.html
suggests communities like Altus will fail if we don't get the tourist
dollars.

As you know, I keep hammering the SAFETY message and, specifically,
"Don't TELL me how safe you are when you stream VIDEO showing me you
are not."

Famous words ... first appeared here on your list.    <G>
