Windsor Star Reporter Disgusted With Environment Canada

Can't just not do anything because some people are ignorant.

After the severe weather of the last few years I'd generally say the public has a more heightened awareness of tornadoes around here. I imagine this years emergency preparedness week may be more publicized by the media than it has been in previous years.

i agree fully with this that it will be more publicized, but at the same time i think that its gonna take a devastating event to really catch the eyes of the government in order to actually get a fire lit under there butts and think well yeah maybe we should have done something i hope that it really doesn't come down to that but lets be honest that's what is probably gonna take. It is only a matter of time before we get struck with a EF3-5 and it causes huge amounts of property and bodily damage and god forbid loss of life, we are getting up there in the statistics, just like the southern states i was watching a documentary on Dallas Fort Worth tornado and gets 100+ touch downs a season, and we get 10% of that if you look at it percentage wise and they are just waiting for that one to come ripping though.
