The National Meteorological Service applauds the Alabamians to take the tornádic climate seriously

Tuscaloosa, wing. (WBRC) – The National Meteorological Service thanks you for taking Last weekend tornadoes seriously. The storms killed three people, but there is a strong feeling that more people could have been hurt or killed if they had not prepared early.

Kevin Laws with the National Meteorological Service expressed it better: it was “a good message” with the messages that started seven days in advance, and that probably made the difference.

The catastrophe of April 27, 2011 in Tuscaloosa became a point of reference, a change of play at so many levels in weather messages: more advanced warning, correct writing and the need to never rule out the power of nature, regardless of how it looks in the early stages of a storm.

“We work with sociologists and psychologists, people who study human behavior. We do not do that. We study the weather, so the two paths join and learn a couple of things about that and the messages that lead to the event, so I think it was a very anticipated message,” said the laws, director of sciences and operations in the National Meteorological Service in Birmingham.

And there lies the probable difference in the number of lives saved in Alabama last weekend.

“You can replace your home. You can’t replace a loved one,” said Chris Darden, a meteorologist in charge of the National Meteorological Service, Chris Darden.

In Walker County on Tuesday, Darden spoke with that while examining the damage of the storm in Sipsey.

“When talking to the people who lived here, they received the warnings. They covered themselves in the basement, the family members were covered, everyone is fine. It’s a success story. It’s good to listen to it,” Darden said.

Darden and the laws also indicate the fact that this time in Alabama had the “weakest” tornadoes, which means that the potential types of EF-5 never materialized.

“You could easily survive those in a room versus an EF-5, you may be in a shelter,” said the laws.

“Three are too many, but taking into account the loss of lives, it would have been much worse,” Darden said.

Much worse, when considered for when Darden and his team complete their County Surveys by County, Alabama will have registered at least 15 tornadoes, all in the period of only one night.

Darden and his crew began on Monday touring several counties. His last county to visit was Sumter on Wednesday.
