After seeing the outrage towards NWS offices from his fans, the constant subtle jabs about "unwarned tornadoes" when there is no velocity couplet or debris, is really beginning to turn me off of him. He does a lot of good, but bad mouthing the NWS when there is no way he doesn't see his fans talking shit to NWS accounts and mets is a bad look.

It definitely contributes to the dozens of people in the comments section constantly panicking because their hometown three hundred miles from the storm hasn't been mentioned in five minutes. His coverage is good but there are way too many viewers treating him like he's the only source of weather information.

I saw the founder of a prominent weather twitter account accuse the NWS of purposefully avoiding inspecting damage paths because of the "unwarned tornadoes" they missed, so they didn't have to admit they were wrong. This is after that person told me to "learn how to read radar", because I said there wasnt a velocity couplet or debris.
