Haven't you ever heard of a theneeestorm before? It's any storm with winds greater than 500 mph. Any storm with winds of 499 or less is a
teeneestorm because it's smaller and not as severe.
I just want to know where to get a "NOAA WRANHAR RADIO FOR THE LATEST EAEEETWEATHER INFORMATION."

I side with Stormfury, but yet, it must be one heck of a thunderstorm! 955 mph winds

It is very like it was a transmission problem; I have seen similar occurences. Plus, that many misspellings???

Oh, Bron! If Great One was hacking forecasts, a scenario
like "Day After Tomorrow" would be like a walk in the park!

I received this from NWS Melbourne this weekend.
I did not post the entire email as some of it was personal to me. Suffice it to say this is a major part of the reason I try not get involved in any thread that can be construed as "flaming" our official agencies, as there is usually a good explanation for anything that seems wayward and overall they do a
STELLAR JOB OF FORECASTING imo.
So, before we are quick to judge, and yes I understand that most of the above was tongue in cheek, we need to be sure of what we are saying and assuming. Just my $0.02 worth.

Great Post David. I just thought what I was reading was funny. Thats why I posted ROTFLMAO... I agree with Stormfury and knew it had to be some sort of difficulty in communications.
I hope that person realizes we all have the utmost respect for NWS forecasters everywhere!!!
Can you apologize for me on my Behalf. Thanks

Johnathan I imagine he will read your apology. I never let him know that the thread existed, so it goes without saying that at least some of the NWS mets do check out some of the weather sites on the internet and ours is obviously one of them.
Even though this particular thread did not "flame" as some others occasionally do(which will be removed if deemed necessary)it is a good example of why one of Storm2k's policies is to not allow "flaming" of our official agencies.
