On a couple of occasions, NWS sites were offline when tornadic weather was crossing the region. In several instances, funnel clouds were reported by private weather watchers minutes before NWS issued warnings for the area… or warnings were never issued. People died. (Ex: Union City MI, 3 fatalities this spring with tornado that hit with no warning)
