    Interesting, though I do have a minor gripe about the axis points changing from graph to graph.  I just wrapped up a graduate data analytics class where I basically lived in Cognos and had to create visualizations for 2 months, so I've become picky lol.  Not surprisingly, warm/humid is the most frequent pairing.

    I now can't unsee this. I've been facedeep in R creating visualizations and heatmaps on genetic datasets for the past month and the first thing I noticed was "oh hey, probably done in ggplot w/ the viridis package", not the actual data. Not surprised, we do warm/humid well here.

    Glad you mentioned that...we had lost power by the time we went under a tornado warning yesterday, though I still received all alerts on our wx radio with battery backup. What I didn't expect was to get the cell phone based emergency alert for the tornado threat. Is that standard practice for tornado warnings? (That was only the second I've experienced in the 20+ years living in this neighborhood.)

    Yes, I've seen tornado warnings and flash flood warnings get pushed to cell phones which imo is a huge leap since the majority of folks have a cell phone nowadays.

    that's still pretty late

    True, but at that point in the game people should have been ready to receive those orders and leave. People shouldn't be waiting for a mandatory evac order and then go "welp I guess I should pack!" It was known that Ian was coming for a week. There's a reason why particularly Florida NWS have Plan, Prepare, Act in their watches and warnings and those were issued earlier than local mandatory evac orders.

    I dont know why reporters think we need to see them standing in 100 MPH winds.  Its just plain stupid.

    One: Ratings and Two: People don't react to colors on a screen, they react to actual conditions. James Spann is of this train of thought, people don't react to radar.
