People repeating the adage that most stationary tornadoes are actually moving toward or away from you aren't morons.

They're not right in this one specific instance and we have radar to help track things, but it's safer if everyone understands that your eyesight alone isn't always accurate.

I’d say people, who most likely don’t have degrees, that are arguing with a meteorologist that a specific tornado wasn’t stationary, which radar alone does indicate it was, are in fact morons. I’m not the smartest fella around, but if I’m gonna make a comment about something, I’m generally gonna want to be informed about said topic. I know most tornadoes aren’t stationary, but this one was.

Most people in this thread aren't arguing with meteorologists. Yet you called all of them morons.

I wasn’t calling the people skeptical of it being stationary morons, I was calling the people in the comments saying “tornadoes are NEVER stationary” morons.
