if I ever heard a Tornado Emergency issued for my area, my stomach would be right at my throat . . . it's not just a confirmed tornado, it's the intensity in a heavily populated area that gives the term *Tornado Emergency*
+Abby Hobbs I got at Kroger, which is a grocery store chain around the great lakes 3 years ago after Christmas. You can find them at Walmart, RadioShack, Target, Best Buy, etc.
@0:40 if you ever hear the EAS mention "storm spotter confirmed" you take cover. I am a trained NWS storm spotter/chaser and we don't just report a tornado directly to the NWS unless it's really on the ground, doing damage and have the proof sent to them. You hear that, it gets as serious as it gets. Nice capture!
Yeah I know even on that day later after that alert the storm hit Henryville Indiana and had a Tornado Emergency it's real!! Don't believe me check Tornado Alley Episodes and you will find Real time Henryville March 2nd 2012
We had a ef5 last night we Got missed but the flying derbies was bad bad. I was coming home from the zoo it touchdown near s truistpark seats were sucked up it flew towards me me we had to get away from the tornado
They do have weather radios up in Canada. You can find most Midland radios in Canadian grocery stores if you are lucky. Your version of the National Weather Service is Environment Canada.
I have one of these radios now? And thankfully I do? A few days ago we had confirmed tornadoes it’s confirmed on my other channel. How I know? Was it cut out right before it said “confirmed Tornado or a severe T storm capable of producing a Tornado”
On 4/27/2011 the EAS was down and power out to 250,000 due to the early am storms. When the big tornadoes started in the afternoon warning was difficult. If yours had gone off for me like that I'd have a heart attack!
I’m late to this party, but have the same radio. When we were trying to sell our home, the realtor told us to pack it up because of showings (during spring/summer). I said heck no. We live in central OH.
Makes sense...I was just curious b/c mine only ever goes off if something's issued for Johnson County, IA. Anything issued to any of the surrounding counties doesn't set it off, but I'll still hear the EAS
You feel like you're going to see this as your last then you see because they've never seen a PDS tornado warning but it's scary to go through tornado warning even if there is no tornado
I lived in Florence when this happened. When it said "this is a tornado emergency", I got chills. This would be the storm that dropped the Crittenden tornado.
"Tornado Emergency" is basically an enhanced Tornado Warning and is similar to "A Particularly Dangerous Situation." There's either a squall line with tornadic storms embedded within, or a large, destructive tornado about to hit a heavily populated area. So yeah, it's serious. Tornado emergency is basically a guarantee that a tornado IS ON THE GROUND. Tornado Warning might just be doppler indicated rotation but you should still seek shelter!
i got a PDS Tornado Warning, that had a Tornado Emergency on it, the warning said "A Confirmed Large and Extremely Dangerous Tornado was located near Kokomo, moving east at 30 miles per hour, This is a particularly dangerous situation, take cover now!"
My wife would go back to her families farm in the summer they had two of these one downstairs one upstairs. They both go off at the same time everyone would go in the basement. Only one time a Tornado came across the farm but it missed by about 1/4 mile.
The first Tornado Emergency in Southwest Ohio and there isn't even a News Channel 7 coverage video on RU-vid because TheFritter is absent for the last 6 years
I do remember this it was really bad in Henryville, Indiana which took a direct hit, just like Louisville, Kentucky took April 03, 1974, both April 03, 1974, & March 02, 2012 will go down in weather history as "Super Outbreaks".
i have one but in 2011 i was sleeping then it woke me up i said bitch what to you want this time they iren was coming i said ooh shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then it was over
My uncle steve and my aunt Jill's house just right on the border of Grant and Kenton county got their roof hit hard by the EF4 tornado and that was quite devastating for their house plus that was Two days before my 7th birthday wow!
892guns, if you get one form your local drug store or a Walmart in Canada, they will be set up to receive you national weather service in Canada, the manual that comes with the radio also will list frequencies for service stations in your area, that serve your province or county, if I said that right, so you can set your radio to receive alerts only for your imediate area
Gammareign,,, yes they do, call up Environment Canada on your computer and look there for the codes for your local area. In the U,S. they're called S.A.M.E. codes , not sure what they're called in Canada.your radio's manual will list the phone number and the computer address for Environment Canada. you can get the information there
how do you know that one of your weather radios will go off? because a winter storm warning was issued and it didn't go off on my weather radio. how do you know that it will go off
Just go on iembot and turn on audio notifications. When a warning is issued, see if your radio is activated. My WFO (PBZ) tones Areal Flood Warnings, but not River Flood Warnings, and they don't tone Winter Storm Warnings.

This was the first time NWS Wilmington had ever issued a tornado emergency, and is prior to when the format for tornado emergency bulletins was more or less standardized. In 2019, Wilmington's tornado emergencies for the Dayton area followed that format.
