@MrJason37659 The clockwise radar sweeps are for NEXRAD data, and the counterclockwise data is from their old ADC Doppler radar. If I'm remembering correctly, for whatever reason, those ADC radars swept counterclockwise.... but not completely sure on that.

@efherne I guess that "SEEK TRUTH" only applies to times when it conforms to your fear-mongering, conspiracy theory promoting personal opinion derived agenda. That's called opinion)... not truth, or fact. Unless, of course, you choose to also not accept the society-accepted definitions of words ...

Going back and looking at this coverage and the radar data from archives, that Cordova area supercell cycled back in Mississippi. The original tornado was a little further north back in Mississippi after hitting the Philadelphia MS area, and a storm to the south merged into it before it came int...

@TheMightykaz That storm he talks about that's still in Mississippi is actually the storm that produces the Cordova area tornado. The storm that eventually develops immediately south of it produces the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado. However, the storm he is talking about, that produces the Cord...

@wxworld I'm the guy that was driving the StormTrack radar that day, Fred Gossage. That was me sending JP Dice that message without getting away from the computer, to let him know that the NWS had sent that note to us through the NWSChat system.

@INTOASECRETLAND The "Good Morning America" live performance was better, if only for "stop singing my part now baby...." LOL

@MimiDahhling30 oh.... you'd be surprised! LOL .....Great work, btw! :-)

@jasosak Ahhh.... the difference between "weather anchors" west of the Rocky Mountains or the big Northeast Cities, and serious, degreed broadcast meteorologists from the Plains eastward. It sucks because all the big markets want the "weather guessers" like this guy.... and that's where the high...

@fgossage The system that shows the lightning as bolts and + marks is also FasTrac. VIPIR shows its lightning as blinking dots in 2D, that become "spikes" when tilted into 3D.

@jerseyman4 Yeah, I'm a big fan of calling out city streets, small communities, well-known BBQ joints, schools, shopping centers, etc.... Times of arrival also very important.

@DTRAVELZ This was outside of Cordova in Walker County, Alabama.

Am I the only one that thinks that even if they had given him a styrofoam cup, he would've acted like he tripped over the chair leg or something and dropped a capsule into the water and turned it into Joker venom? lol

@NICKREAPER316 It really is, but "The Man Who Laughs" is considered so by DC... and is the post-crisis telling of Joker's first appearance in Gotham. If they ever animate "The Killing Joke", "The Man Who Laughs" is another one I hope they eventually get to.

@HALOULTIMA Ir's the second Robin... not the third (other popular) one. The first Robin is Dick Grayson... the one everyone has known forever. This is Jason Todd... The third, and other popular, Robin is Tim Drake.

@SonicFan200000 It's the same storyline continuity and the same voice actor. They just did another visual redesign on the character for that movie and the Justice League cartoons because this design wasn't that well received.

@wsmith4 You DO realize that ABC 33/40 didn't even EXIST until 1996... and also in the video, James Spann is talking to John Oldshue, and specifically mentions his encounter with the Tuscaloosa tornado in December of ***2000***.... How could he POSSIBLY talk about an encounter with a Tuscaloosa t...

@yksnimus Kevin Conroy. He's the guy that voices Batman for this cartoon, The Justice League series, and the Arkham Asylum/Arkham City games.

This was the event that really started my interest in weather. And man, I gotta say.... Jerry Tracey at NBC 13 sure has aged since then! lol

Wow, all you guys act like traffic lights only have a red and a green. Yellow means PREPARE TO STOP. The red light was not without warning. Higher speed approaches like that often have a yellow interval as long as six to eight seconds. From what the video showed, it looked like the yellow was one...

@Marioboy1011 This is a standard for all of the United States, and the "left turn yield on circle green" phases will eventually be replaced with these flashing yellow arrows. There is also the option for a flashing red arrow if the driver needs to come to a full stop before turning.... and also f...

@vashondude It's just to give a small clearing gap in the protected movement, because when the flashing yellow turns on, it's not protected... the oncoming traffic will have a circle green.

@StarFighters76 It is, but a whole lot of drivers see green and just assume they have the right of way, even though there are signs up there saying they must yield to oncoming traffic. The flashing yellow is supposed to instill the idea of caution/yield to the driver wanting to make the turn. The...

@GeoffBlackmore I assume this is to keep traffic signals from having to be installed on the roundabout to provide "pre-emption" to keep the crossing clear?

@Trainking922 It is kinda weird, but it eliminates left turn movements against conflicting traffic at the end of the off-ramps completely... replacing those motions with left-hand merging into same-direction-moving traffic... and those merges are controlled by traffic lights. The only conflicting...

@amun1999 He has fixed that since this video was recorded. His "HO Scale coal train" video shows a much more realistic gate speed. :-)

@newcadet I don't know what you use, and I may be late to the party, so to speak.... but consider the little surface-mount LEDs for your gate lights on the crossing signals. Among the other perks of using them, they will look like some of the new LED gate lights that are used in the real world. :-)

So you know incase this happens again, the smart thing would've been to turn around, like that car immediately in front of you. Even if the signals are clearly malfunctioning, it's still illegal to drive around the gates, and you will be fined if you are caught... even if they are clearly malfunc...

I'm really surprised he didn't make note of the cross turned upside down on the wall when he first found the dead body...
