    “…the two dispatchers on duty were so busy answering calls that they did not hear the alert come across the computer and the warning sirens were not activated. ”

    And …” the National Weather Service didn’t alert dispatchers until the twister was already in the area. ”

    So, what’s with that? Enough cause & effect to go around?

    The NWS failed to notify them until it was too late and they get boned for acting responsibly in the midst of the tornado? What good would a warning siren do when the tornado was already on them? Typical bureaucratic BS. Why weren’t the idiots at the NWS suspended or terminated?
