Her producer made the decision to put her on the air. So ... he/she ought to step up here.

We live in the ATL ‘metro’ ... sorta.

We had typical Spring weather with a cold front passage. It ranged from moderate showers to [GASP] strong thunderstorms with gusty winds. Considering this front DID produce deadly tornadoes west of us, it’s not unreasonable to provide warnings of real threats. So kudos to the network.

BUT!! they tend to be chicken little on these interruptions instead of telling viewers where an actual risk is, AND they take too long to do it. I don’t need to know where every Doppler indication of rotation is, actually, with 5 minutes of storm path forecasts. But then again there ARE lots of viewers who have no clue about Spring weather in the South.

No justification for death threats, but they could have done a crawl across the bottom AND done the weather bit in the insert. Plus most folks I know get severe weather warnings (legit ones) on their smart phones that are quite location specific.

Anyways ... lighten up folks.

My daughter in Northeast Georgia dodged a tornado Sunday evening by a mile. Screw golf.

This is a darned if you do or darned if you don’t situation. I’ve had a F4 very near my home in Texas and was damn grateful to have had the warning with the potential impact map on the screen. Took out downtown Lancaster Texas along with a bunch of people down the road a piece. These are same people who if their homes were damaged without warning would be raising hell.
