What does all this jubberish mean to the ordinary layman?
@Enots, I agree with you. These weather guys need to tell us what to expect, the severity, when,how long and potential damages. Then the government needs to be proactive. What of schools? Will they be open given the circumstances. Folks need to know so they can prepare.
