I got a video of my WR-602 going off for a severe thunderstorm warning. Listen to the cities it includes. I find it kind of funny. It kind of sounds like those towns are in the middle of nowhere.

  • @WinterWeatherII Yeah I think you are right, they have maps on NOAA's website of the coverage area...I think after Sullivan county (which is one county after mine I live in Lycoming) Wilkes-Barre takes over. Then after that area its Mt. Holly NJ.

  • @maggio211 I've lived here all my life, not sure why they were never read faster. I think they slow it down because they may have had it go faster in the past but may have had problems with people missing some of the info. Only thing I can think of. Or maybe they just wanted to be different :)

  • There seem to be a lot of tornadoes/severe thunderstorms heading toward Knoebels, mainly this past summer. Have you ever been there when one hit? I haven't. I wonder what kind of procedures they have in place? (For those of you that don't know, Knoebels Grove is a large local amusement park.)

  • A portion of this warning's text:

    * THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL BE NEAR... FERNDALE AND LECK KILL AROUND 725 PM EDT... SHAMOKIN AND ROUGH AND READY AROUND 730 PM EDT... KNOEBELS GROVE AROUND 735 PM EDT...

     KULPMONT AROUND 745 PM EDT... MOUNT CARMEL AROUND 755 PM EDT... JOE ZERBEY AIRPORT AND ASHLAND AROUND 805 PM EDT...

  • is his voice more slower beacuse mine is a little faster?

  • I don't know why State College reads their warnings very SLOWLY. I was told this was the slowest in the whole US.

  • I've been contemplating getting one of those WR-602s for a good while, but haven't got around to getting one. Now that we've just had a Super Outbreak of deadly tornadoes here in NC, I'll damn sure have one before the end of the week! Looks like the radio works quite well and has a good small shape to it.

  • is this a good portable weather alert radio?
