6/5/08 - Tornado Warning 6pm in Manhattan, KS

[alliedamusical]

Actually, I think the criteria for warnings and watches may be different in different parts of the country. In Kansas, for example, where tornadoes are common, a tornado has to be sighted or rotation has to be indicated on radar in order to issue a warning. However, I live in Georgia, and I read up on the warnings and check the radar, and we've occasionally had a few warnings issued that simply said "a severe thunderstorm with the capability of producing a tornado."

Cool vid. I lived there during this time, I have some hail damage on the hood of my car. But I lucked out, I remember lotsa with very bad hail damage every inch of the car and windows busted out. Wasn't sure if this was the same day tho.

[gt3corn]

I remember this because I live there. There wasn't much time to get to shelter because it was issued right when it was over.

[kjetil297]

this is just a normal storm boring

[rainbowpunk18]

[kjetil297]

[1050HzSineWaveTone]

[RATM4MYLIFE]

idk I was expecting it lol XD :P

Funny how there's so much confusion over this. A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop.

A "Warning" is just that - it means a tornado has actually been sighted or rotation is indicated by Doppler radar "in" the warned area. Also, in the past warning areas were larger - usually an entire county. There was less of a chance that your particular location would be hit. Now the area is much smaller so the probability is higher it might knock on your door.

[bob199061]

thats is what i meant

[bob199061]

ok a tornado watch means that the condition is favorable for a tornado and it was sometimes hail is a sign of a tornado. sometimes they get the warnings from weather spotters that saw rotation the next town over and thats another way they get them. so don't tear him or her up just because you misread it.

[wiseoracle]

Thank you! Someone actually knows how to read and comprehend.

[bob199061]

ya ive been through a couple myself

actually rotation passed over my house several times

[hollisterlaguna8]

k change the title it is completely the opposite of what the video really is

[wiseoracle]

Maybe if you knew the difference between a Warning and an actual tornado, you would know the difference.

[hnbt06]

ya cus like that was pretty much when manhattan was under warning for hours so that hollister guy is retarded

[CowNamedCookies]

OMG RAIN SCARY:(

[wiseoracle]

It isn't misleading. It says TORNADO WARNING. There is nothing misleading about it. It doesn't say Tornado Sighting in Manhattan, KS. Reading Comprehension owns you.

[jwbsa]

Even the poor are amazed when balls of ice fall from the sky.

[KillswitchShepherd]

WOW RAIN ON A SIDEWALK!

[Simpsin16]

lmao!

[wiseoracle]

Wow, sorry for not everyone has expensive cameras and beautiful cinematography views with very good film skills.

Nobody forced you to watch it.

[KillswitchShepherd]

[Trainzcool]

The damage to the hardware store was the one on the 11th, which was the first tornado damage to Manhattan in 42 years.

[PBEnthusiast]

[jayhawk29]

Did the sirens go off?

[wiseoracle]

They were on and off occasionally.

[sorensentina]
