[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 3237271, member: 4319"] Yeah I see reality is getting some press this evening. It's pouring in Wichita tonight. Insane rainfall rates. NWS Wichita is retweeting some great photos/videos/reports right now. People will remember this PR blunder as long as they do the flood. Bixby lowlanders who evacuated too early will be moving back in right before the flood actually hits I bet. Drove through there today, lots of empty dry houses with sandbags around them. Saw business taking the bags down. I just don't see how NOAA, SPC, NWS, etc can be so consistently excellent about coveying pertinent information to the public with incredible accuracy and timeliness and the corps is this bad. This is as important if not more than severe weather forecasting. It would be like if the SPC said on convective outlooks that "tornadoes aren't on the ground right now so they're not a threat to anyone. right now we will be holding steady with no tornadoes until a tornado occurs. hope this helps". This needs to be addressed top down at ACOE [/QUOTE]
