Cincinnati NWS Radar June 2, 1990 1059 PM

By 10:59 PM EDT, the three supercells in southern Indiana had moved east, with the lead cell now in Dearborn and Ripley counties of southeast Indiana. At the time of this video, the lead cell was producing a tornado in northern Ripley county with another tornado about to develop in Dearborn county.

A note about the colors used on the radar display: The legend on the upper left corner shows the intensity of the precipitation for each level (L1 = Level 1, L2 = Level 2). The dark colored area in southeast Indiana is Level 6, or extreme rainfall rates.

The audio portion is the tornado warning for Ripley and Dearborn counties of Indiana, a tornado safety message and part of the a message stating "we have interrupted routine programming".

0:58 I absolutely LOVED that ominous

NOAA Weather Radio Tornado Safety

Cart they used to run back in the 70s

and 80s (and obviously early 90s).

Does anyone know if there is any-

where on the internet to find those

audio files? Thanks -- great post!

@ChristopherSaindon I never have been able to pin down exactly when those were recorded or who's voice it is. I'll post again if that info ever turns up.

There is a Rescue 911 episode about the tornado in this outbreak that hit Harrison, Ohio

[hookecho80]

I think I saw that episode once, many years ago.

Media General Cable in Fairfax Country use to have a old rader channel just like this. During the 90's Media General Cable and WRC Channel 4 in Washington DC team up to launch a new radar channel. By the end of the 90's they replace it with The Weather Channel rader.

That was the end of a local forecast on TWC with John Tesh's "A Thousand Summers" @ 1:26-27.
