rdale said:Why? GPS shows you where you are, the radar shows you where the storm is - I'd rather keep the people in my area safe by safely spotting than just cover my head and be scared
rdale said:I wrote the weather software I use - so yes I trust it
Radar doesn't show what's happening at the surface, so spotters are needed regardless of the radar coverage.
If you're not comfortable being out at night - so be it, but don't put down those who do...
burner50 said:mmmmkay, well you dont own your own radar and get the images from there do you? You are still relying on somebody else and a computer...
Things can go wrong too fast and you wont even be able to see it in the black of night...
BTW, you wrote your own radar software? I'd love to try it out... I cant really find a program i like...
