When I lived in Kansas they were very trigger happy with the warnings. Any storm basically would get a warning.

NWS Cleveland doesn't care about NW Ohio though. But radar warnings are not a joke. It's easy to spot a tornado on radar if you've got proper software and believe me, they do

I disagree. I'd be interested to know the % of warnings that never even produce a funnel in the sky, let alone one on the ground. I bet it's high. The gap has narrowed so much between what a watch and warning is.

The problem with that is people seem to be taking warnings less seriously with each one that passes by with merely a rumble of thunder.
