Out here in Warren County, we're clear. Somewhat. With a slightly different path, what's thought to be an EF-4 tornado blasted through STL from southwest of the city to Granite City IL on 10 February 1959. Thousands of homes and apartments were heavily damaged or destroyed. The tower of KTVI-TV (2) was sheared in half and dropped near the Forest Park Highlands amusement park, and part of the St. Louis Arena was torn off. 21 died, hundreds were hurt. Little notice as air raid sirens were employed and the Conelrad system wasn't designed for weather emergencies. The only radar was either at Lambert Airport or Scott Air Force base in IL. 16 other tornadoes were reported of lesser strength in the two days of 9-10 February 1959. There have been others here over the years. Be thankful for the upgrades.
I got a couple clips of some of the sirens from around the St. Louis area. If u ever remaster this and wanna use them i gotcha (idk if they’re downloadable or not but if they’re not I can make them so)
@@DA77sEasMocksnot in the STL area 😂😂. Ignore it until the sirens go off & then you still got 15 minutes before the storm comes. I should mention Saint Charles county has sirens go off for thunderstorm warnings now too
By the way during the SVR for Franklin, St. Louis and St. Charles Counties, you were only supposed to do this "Example: Franklin County, Saint Charles County, Saint Louis County" without putting the "in East Central Missouri" part. How do i know this? Well i just do. Also the pronunciation for Illinois is Illynois. Otherwise good mock.
Well if its a Severe Thunderstorm capable, not all of the time. The Tri-state tornado, Joplin, Moore, El Reno, and others. If its a confirmed one, say goodbye or go to a shelter.
@@DA77sEasMocks 🤔 I never said that they didn't exist. They just throw out those alerts so freely that when it is serious, people don't take it seriously which results in further devastation. And where I live if I see a "tornado watch " I don't even think anything about it.
