Did he write "omg" on the radar screen at the very end?

[PraterWX]

@6891man No...that's "Lanny" indicating the chaser's position

[hawkfan2300]

I think this was the same storm that produced a tornado near Arnett Oklahoma

[PraterWX]

@hawkfan2300 No. This cell first developed south of Protection, KS.

at 6:09 untill 6:12 i heard EAS tones in back

[PraterWX]

@MrRem300 No. There's no weather radio, or any other EAS equipment in the studio.

@jjedmunds7508 Because the overwhelmingly vast majority of the people that they are trying to urge to shelter... don't understand that.

[firealarmfreak5]

@MrRem300 That was from the storm chaser.

@Hartford1992 The atlanta tornado was freaky. I live in Forsyth county GA and there were warnings everywhere. I even saw the rotating funnel cloud

[MultiWarzone]

Dang, that was a realy scary signature!

@hawkfan2300 A tornado emergency is the National Weather Services official "upgrade" from a tornado warning. They are issued when a reasonable size tornado is expected to impact a high-population area. Some of them small towns, some of them are big cities.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

Who names a town "Protection"? That name should be changed.
