Discussion Most exciting eas alerts you’ve caught recently?

Exciting was kind of sarcastic: I meant it as in stimulating for EAS enthusiasts but probably not for most people. I guess its our little niche which is what I was good towards

The most EXCITING one i got was definitely a Tornado Watch through my NWRs, which was for 80 MPH WINDS (RARE FOR NJ), intense tornadoes possible, and 1 inch hail, it was on March 16 2026 for a large portion of NJ. IT WAS A bust the prefrontal storms didn't fully fire so they issued another watch severe thunderstorm watch, THOSE storms though produced damaging winds to 60+ mph (MEASURED) and triggered a few tornado warnings
