First 10 Minutes of Moore Tornado

[nilram]

13. I hear ya. The last time I updated my emergency supplies was

over 10 years ago after we had a minor earthquake. I hear that now the mayor of Moore wants the building code to require storm shelters in all new homes. Current events motivate us and I hope more people and communities become better prepared after this storm.

"My experience is that they don't run ads during extreme weather events like this, they actually work in the public interest."

The OP posted a dramatic stormwatcher video clip where the radio is playing during the tornado. The tornado is touched down, black and thick at ground level, and the radio announcer says, "You can see it right here. Now is a perfectly good time to make sure that you download the KUCO 5 tornado app and the KUCO app as well." As I heard that, I'm thinking "no, now is the perfect time to get your butt in a storm shelter, a bathtub, or an inner closet." And as he continues on to say "You can watch our streaming coverage as you go into your tornado shelter," I'm thinking, "Yeah, sure you can... If you have power."

Can't fault him, I guess. It's live radio, he's got to keep talking, and if his company wants him to advertise their apps a certain number of times per hour, then why not do it while the tornado is touching down. ("You can see it right here. Now is a perfectly good time to make sure that you download the KUCO 5 tornado app and the KUCO app as well. You can watch our streaming coverage as you go into your tornado shelter.&quot But I'm with you in hope that ads after the storm connect people with services and products that will help them stay safe in the future.
