If I'm aware of it, probably not.

But I'm particularly prone to being aloof when busy. Particularly prone to driving right into the middle of a hellstorm when the rest of the world is apparently talking about the weather, so I can sort of relate to people who said they just didn't realize.

The biggest problem I'm certain existed was that precautions didn't exist to protect against people being aloof/unaware.

And like I've said elsewhere, what I'm really surprised by is that the program is left to using weather.com, like I am, to know what's going on with the winds.
