Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook are way ahead of the weather channel, local news and the NWS.
We're tracking tornados around our neighborhood in real time by the pictures people are posting and their reports. Also some meteorologists are doing really technical explainers via periscope. You won't see any of this on TV.
TV is to busy covering tornado damage that happened this morning and stretching it into all day coverage. I'm tempted to call them worse than useless, negligent.
When they catch up (hours later) they'll pull video from Facebook or Twitter and mash it up with the same kind of "man on the street" coverage they've been doing for 40 years.
Do they think we don't know how out of date and ridiculous they look? It's surreal.
