My 18th complaint to Environment Canada
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2005 8:44 pm
Tonight, I went nuts. I am reaching my limits with Environment Canada, here is an unformal, quick thought complaint I wrote them. If action isn't taking soon, then I am going to have to start something here. I didn't proof-read my email, so live with it. These are my opinions, and if any offending comments were made, then just plug your ears, close your eyes and sing.
-------
SEND THIS TO THE HEAD OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA'S WEATHER MAN!
I have reached my breaking point with Environment Canada. Out of all the years I have been living in Canada I have had to put up with E.C.'s idiotic ways of doing things. For crying out loud, the tornado in Feversham, Ontario... Come on, like really why wasn't there even a severe thunderstorm warning in effect? This is just redicilus, I have seen so many interviews about extreme weather in Canada on the rise, and we should expect more severe weather outbreaks. Where is the technology to provide the citizens of Canada with timely weather warnings? Why don't the weather radars in southern Canada detect tornadoes like the National Weather Service's radars do?
WHY MUST TORNADO WARNINGS COME 15 TO 30 MINUTES AFTER A
TORNADO! WHY MUST SO MANY AREAS BE INCLUDED IN A TORNADO
WARNING WHEN NO THREAT IS IMMINENT? WHY AREN'T TORNADO
WARNINGS ISSUED ON THUNDERSTORMS WILL WALL CLOUDS OR
FUNNEL CLOUDS? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SEE "SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNING... A FUNNEL CLOUD WAS SPOTTED OVER
HAMILTON AND MAY BRIEFLY TOUCHDOWN? WHY DO I HAVE TO WATCH
ALL THE LIVES AFFECTED BY TORNADOES IN CANADA, AND NO THEY
HAD NO WARNING? THIS IS JUST IT, ENVIRONMENT CANADA SHOULD
BE CLOSED DOWN FOR GOOD. SOME ONE BRING ME THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE, AND FAST. WHY IS CANADA'S TORNADO WARNING
TIME AROUND THE MOMENT YOU CAN SEE IT AT YOUR DOORSTEP, AND
NOT 15 MINUTES IN ADVANCE SO YOU HAVE TIME TO GET TO SHELTER?
WHY DOES ENVIRONMENT CANADA EVEN BOTHER WITH TORNADO
WARNINGS WHEN 90% OF THE TIME THEY ARE USELESS? HOW COME
SITTING HERE ON AUGUST 19, 2005 I HAD TO GO TO THE BASEMENT IN
WATERLOO, ONTARIO WHEN WE HAD A TORNADO WARNING, BUT THE
TORNADOES WERE IN WELLINGTON COUNTY, AND NO WHERE NEAR
HERE, AND THE WARNING TEXT DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME NOTICE OF
WHERE THE TORNADOES WERE HEADED? HOW COME OUR TORNADO
WARNINGS NEED TO LAST SEVERAL HOURS, WHEN THE TORNADO
THREAT HAS PASSED, BUT THE WARNING DOESN'T END? WHY DOESN'T
ENVIRONMENT CANADA FOLLOW THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE?
WHY? WHY? IF IT WERE EVER POSSIBLE, IF A TORNADO TORE UP MY
HOUSE, AND I HAD NO WARNING BECAUSE YOU "METEOROLOGISTS" OR
SHOULD I SAY "PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING"
DIDN'T ISSUE A TIMELY WARNING... I WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST
YOUR AGENCY SO FAST, BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW THE RISK FACING US,
THE COUNTRY WITH THE 2ND LARGEST AMOUNT OF TORNADOES IN THE
WORLD, YET NOTHING WAS EVER DONE TO PREPARE US? THIS ISN'T
THE 1950'S NO MORE... WHO KNEW? I GUESS YOU GUYS DIDN'T.
CHANGE YOUR WARNING MAPS, PLEASE GO BY COUNTIES, LIST WHERE
THE TORNADOES WILL BE NEAR AT WHAT TIME. ASK THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE FOR ASSISSTANCE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. WHO
CARES IF LAW OR AGREEMENTS PROHIBIT THAT, I AM SICK AND TIRED
OF YOU IDIOTS AT ENVIRONMENT CANADA. HOW COME IN THE PAST
MONTH WHEN A WARNING OR WATCH IS ISSUED, FOR ABOUT HALF AN
HOUR THE TEXT OF THE MESSAGE SAYS "DETAILS TO FOLLOW". LIKE
EXCUSE ME, IF I SAW THAT ON A TORNADO WARNING... IF I WAS IN
CHARGE OF ENVIRONMENT CANADA, EVERYTHING WOULD CHANGE. NO
BUDGET, NO RULES, NO NOTHING WOULD KEEP ME FROM PROTECTING
THE CITIZENS OF CANADA. WE DESERVE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU
GIVE. CALL BUFFALO NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, AND THE DETROIT-
PONTIAC NWS, TELL THEM TO TAKE OVER WEATHER FORECASTING FOR
SOUTHERN ONTARIO. I HAVE HAD IT WITH ENVIRONMENT CANADA. I
DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MORE TIMES I CAN STAND HEARING ON THE
WEATHER NETWORK, THERE IS ROTATION IN THIS STORM, BUT
ENVIRONMENT CANADA HASN'T ISSUED A TORNADO WARNING.
TORNADOES ARE MY GREATEST THREAT LIVING IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO,
BUT I HAVE NO ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEM TO WARN ME OF THEM. I
GUESS I AM SUPPOSED TO BE MY OWN METEOROLOGIST, AND SAME
WITH EVERYONE ELSE HERE, BECAUSE YOU GUYS COULDN'T BOTHER
WITH US.
