"Tornado warnings were delayed because of reduced staff." Source? How long was the delay?

Edit: Really? Downvote me for asking a super simple question? Sorry if I threaten the narrative.

Right up top. The service for alerts no longer works 24/7 so this happened when they were down for their daily window. Therefore the cuts are directly responsible.

Look I found a real source, not conjecture. How hard was that?

Maybe next time do that work yourself immediately and spare yourself the downvotes.

I shouldn’t be downvoted for asking a question that threatens the narrative. My downvotes are a record of the bias here. I’ll do it again.
