Not to mention that the first really bad storm we had... the "future cast" had the storm going west to east but -- instead it actually moved east to west.. so no one was ready for it. It also was a very severe storm but it only was shown on the radar as red (instead of pink) which other websites showed -- but the weather channel didn't.

Mote where do you live, I am moving there?

I even physically watch the storms from on top of the hill where the barn is. Many storm cells go west & some go east from the same vision points. The 2 apps I use are "Weather bug" for the lightning strikes to monitor the direction they are heading & "weather.com" for storm progress. I seriously (in our case here) think the winds change direction so suddenly that the serious storms that hit by surprise can't be predicted especially when the storms can hit hard only a few miles away & we get nothing. Every time I react early & get my horse in the barn, we get no rain.....but when I wait to see, we both get drenched. I think it proves that even science can't accurately predict the weather at any specific location that accurately because nature has a mind of her own
