I check weather.com, and find their "alerts" easily ignored

For instance...

http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Rockville+MD+20851

I'm currently under a "High Pollen Warning" and a "River Flood Warning."

They include a freaking high pollen count with a river flooding warning.

I ignore them all the time.

I was caught in the middle of a weather disaster without an ark on Saturday night because of it.

So if we're looking at breaks in the system, the usability design of weather.com is also partly to blame, maybe.

For me, it's not about "do I buy this report?" It's "can I prove they're lying?" And for 1, I don't think they'd lie to protect anyone involved. And for another, no, I can't prove that they're lying, but I can spend all day digging up reason for doubt of any "obvious proofs" I see getting thrown around on the internet. And I'm not much interested in any burden of proof being laid on the "defendants."
