- Me: “National Weather Service Norman!” Caller: “Hello, are there going to be tornadoes in Norman in the next week?” Me: “Nope, no threat of tornadoes!” Caller: “Okay, thanks! *screams* ALEXA, HANG UP” ...Alexa didn’t hang up, and I had to hang up quietly without losing it.
- Me: “Good evening, National Weather Service!” Caller: “When is the next chance for severe weather for Oklahoma?” “There is a chance for thunderstorms Thursday night into Friday” “Any tornadoes?” “The chance for tornadoes looks extremely low.” *inhale* “AWWWWWWWWWWWW” *click*

- For my fellow NWS Forecasters: During a webinar to the public, have any of you accidentally provided your personal cell phone number instead of the office phone number? Asking for an idiot.
My view as severe weather operations begin @NWSNorman—be sure to stay weather aware and be prepared to take action if a warning is issued for your location! #okwx #txwx #texomawx
