WHATS WRONG WITH ENVIRONMENT CANADA?!

[conestogo_flood]

A tornado warning is in effect for Maine, the tornado warning box on the radar goes atleast 30 kms into western New Brunswick, and a severe thunderstorm warning goes even further than that, but Environment Canada Halifax hasn't issued anything but a severe thunderstorm watch. The storm is almost entirely in New Brunswick right now, and nothing is to be found at all.

Environment Canada cannot be trusted entirely with issuing warnings, they never look past their radar which detects rain drops. This is just really pissing me off.

The Weather Network hasn't even mentioned the watch yet, nor have they looked at the radars there. Usually they keep current with USA warnings and advise Canadians to get to shelter when Environment Canada doesn't pay attention to the situation.

THE STORM! STILL NO WARNING FOR NEW BRUNSWICK.



NWS RADAR

It's a long weekend, that is cottage country New Brunswick. Everyones lives are at stake right now in that part of NB. Environment Canada needs to change and fast, they always look like they are improving, but they never do.

[conestogo_flood]

Still no warning, and the storm is getting stronger. It's entirely in NB right now, drifting east rapidly.

OH MY GOD.

Grand Falls and Victoria County
6:51 PM ADT Sunday 2 July 2006
Severe thunderstorm warning for
Grand Falls and Victoria County issued

Doppler radar signatures are indicating that hail in the order of 2 to 3 centimetres and a possible weak tornado is currently in the kilburn area which is 10 kilometres south of Perth-Andover. These cells are moving toward the east-southeast at about 50 km/h. Additionally within these areas localized downpours and gusty winds to 90 km/h are possible.

WHY HAVEN'T THEY ISSUED A TORNADO WARNING?! FIRST THEY ARE ALMOST 30 MINUTES LATE WITH THE WARNING, THEY KNOW THERE IS A TORNADO, YET THEY DON'T CARE.

The Halifax office is out to lunch!!! They need to be replaced!!! Whoever is calling the shots obviously does not know New Brunswick - the weather patterns are so different there! (It has a lot more in common with inland Maine than coastal areas)

(BTW, since it is no longer in the US at all, it should be moved to Global Weather)

Was the tornado ever confirmed in Maine? Is there a spotter report saying that there is a definate report? Yes, they should of issued a tornado warning if they say there is a possible weak tornado, but I have not seen any reports of an eactual tornado touching down in Maine yet.

Not sure - it isn't very heavily populated so it might have been only on radar...

[Extremeweatherguy]

anytime a possible weak tornado is occuring in the U.S. it gets a tornado warning. I am very surprised that they would only issue a Svr. T-storm warning when a tornado may be on the ground.

[tomboudreau]

I know its not very heavily populated in this part of Maine. Heck, most of Maine isnt very populated except the bigger cities and along the coast line. When I lived in Connecticut, I worked for a private high school that had a second campus in Maine. I spent my days and weeks up in Maine for the school. I would also go on vacation quite often up to Maine to get away from it all. It is by far one of the most beautiful places I've been to. I hope to get back there again, one day when I'm up in Connecticut.

Tornado damage has been reported in a few areas today in NB. Yet, no tornado warnings were ever issued by EC...

[george_r_1961]

Its pretty obvious EC does things a lot differently than NWS. I dont understand why a tornado warning wasnt issued unless EC doesnt issue warnings for "weak" tornadoes.

Ouch, that is really awful that EC would do that. They do miss stuff. I dislike it when they do that a lot. People have to judge for themselves if there is a tornado coming .

[Ghislain]

Yeah it's true They need to change FAST they never care I live in New-Brunswick and we just know in the last minutes if there are Tornadoe or Severe Thunderstorm!
