As a lifelong midwesterner I don’t need sirens, the internet, TV, radio, or low frequency sound to warn me about a tornado. If it’s “green” outside I’m heading down to the basement.
- teeray 3y agoWhere it’s probably more useful is for places like the northeast, where we typically will have a tornado warning or two a year. They aren’t the storms of myth and legend you find in the midwest, but they do cause damage and can kill people. For a population who aren’t as attuned to the signs of tornado formation, external signals from experts can be useful.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoI agree. Tornado weather is very apparent. But it is really cool that there's a new method to detect them.
