Pro-active decisions and death threats to meteorologists are a part of the good, bad, and ugly of Masters weather messaging
A common theme in the after-action reports and service assessments for these disasters is that the weather plan was inadequate to deal with a comprehensive portfolio of weather risk, or a weather plan didn’t exist. In many instances, organizers simply “hoped that we wouldn’t get hit.” Reducing the weather risk to life and property at venues and public gatherings is a priority for the weather enterprise and the American Meteorological Society .
On the first complaint, there are still a significant number of people that may not have other resources to receive a warning. Many people are not very smartphone savvy so rely on their local TV meteorologists. I have written in the past about how a good number of people still rely on a comforting voice over Apps in times of stressful weather.
I also kept wondering why the folks complaining about alerts couldn't watch the Masters on an App. As for the second complaint, many people drop in and out of a broadcast. Repetition is often required to ensure that the message is received by whoever is watching at the time.is that some Atlanta area TV meteorologists actually received death threats because they interrupted the Masters. Yes, you read that correctly.
