- margalabargala 3y agoThey can get pretty colorful. The 2005 hurricane season had some NOAA releases so interesting that xkcd did a comic on them https://xkcd.com/1126/ https://xkcd.com/1126/
- altairprime 3y agoYes, they're often impassioned when they're deadly serious, emphasis on the deadly, about the impact of the weather. They generally write with more humanity than might be expected of any other service — but they also so often bear awful news that is so often summarily ignored, that I can't fault them for their impassioned pleas to 'please, pay attention to us, it will prevent your avoidable deaths'.
