NWS can just take over everyone's phones if something is coming. Twitter was just another method of informing the public.

Catturd2 is part of the essential Elon Musk Canon.

As posted above he's a divorced 60 yo Florida man who posts conservative political commentary on Twitter as well as hosting a conservative political podcast.

For some inexplicable reason, it is very important to Elon that he gets Catturd's approval. The "looking into it" bit that gets repeated in this thread, iirc, comes partially from Catturd2 whining about how he's still being shadowbanned and having followers removed despite Elon throwing out the SJW mods and that there are probably still secret SJWs at the company trying to censor conservative speech to which Elon replies "looking into it".

Elon acts as Catturd2's personal customer service representative for Twitter

NWS's websites are kinda crap. They all have the same dated visual format, but even worse is every regional office puts things in different places. Thankfully a lot of their real time warning graphics are integrated with apps like Radarscope, which is relatively easy to use

Is it at least functional? I remember having to use some data from them a decade ago and their site was reasonable, no ads and the like in sight.

This is a really easy fix for anyone with an iPhone, the weather app already sends notifications for adverse weather if you enable it.

It’s a better solution than relying on that idiot Elon and twitter which a fraction of people use anyway.

I remember having issues with finding historical data. I just noticed a lack of consistency with what offices would make available and where on the site you could access it, and we're talking about comparable data. Maybe it's better now, I don't know. Just found it frustrating
