aside from the tooth i know when a thunderstorm is coming, you can feel the air pressure and humidity 90% of the time. And i can smell rain coming some times.

anyhow, we Europeans just grab a raincoat.

To be fair, i don't think we get many tornados.............

yeah, I don't think Europe NEEDs a ubber weather forcasting system, they can see cloud cover, and get a generaly good idea of were and when it's going to rain, unlike us there weather isn't a common natural disaster, and they don't need the high resolution dopler radar to pin point a tornado, becase they don't get them.

european forcast goes something like this; it's going to rain.

It's interesting to note that not only does Alabama have 3 Weather Service Radars, but individual television stations(at least in Hunstville) have invested in their own radar systems, for a total of 4 radars directly responsible for keeping Huntsville and rest of N. Alabama aware of what going on when severe weather comes our way.  

One of the stations uses a software package that integrates and analyzes radar info from the NWS High Top NexRad, their own doppler array, the NWS radar in Chatanooga and the NWS radar in Nashville to obtain a really good idea where the "hook echo" indicative of a potential tornadic activity.

Welcome to My World

Of course when it gets bad around here I tend to watch this station.
