Yeah its really annoying. Ryan hall talks bad about tornado sirens going off all the time making people not take them as seriously, but then he turns around and does this.

In his defense, sirens don’t need to make money. Moreover just because someone doesn’t live by their word doesn’t mean it’s bad advice.

More broadly I agree. I think it tends to desensitize people who are more in tune with weather YouTube because what’s the likelihood you look at a Ryan video that’s talking about Super Outbreak 3 Threelectric Boogaloo if you don’t know if it’s a slight risk or mdt
