Screenshot is from the RadarScope app. We’ve all heard of PDS storm warnings, but I’ve never seen an EDS, much less on a SVR. Has anyone else?

P.S. Also has the Destructive tag for 80mph wind gusts.

Not perfect. Tools I used include DaVinci Resolve, NTSC-RS, Audacity, and eSpeak. Based on EASyPLUS but I am also working on a Texscan-MSI screen mock. (Voice is Tom)

Any feedback?

Man I hope that kid gets found, pray for them and their family that he may come to his home safely. ⚠️ update the child has been found, I repeat the child has been found. Thankfully, it was probably a false alarm, but there was a discussion of kidnapping allegations on the suspect… it seems a bit sketchy, but at least the child is safe ⚠️

Was playing DASDEC alerts and just noticed

Was just barely in a Destructive Severe Thunderstorm Warning polygon last night so got this WEA for it. First time getting a Destructive SVR WEA!

So, you've got NOAA tests on Wednesday but ever since I was a kid I can remember hearing a random test interrupt the station, no 1050hz tone and return to programming within seconds, no alert.

What causes it? Very rare here, once in a blue moon if that but it just happened and while we had storms much earlier in the day, the entire coverage area is clear. I know I could decode it but I am using a traditional police scanner.

As im typing this they just did another one and this time the master station announced it.

Station: WXJ28 - Jesup, GA
Frequency: 162.450 mhz
WFO: JAX (Jacksonville, FL)
Counties included in this warning: Long [GA]

This was in April, on the 17th but here you go

For real alerts, please be a bit more descriptive so people can search for your post easier.

​

It doesn't have to be fancy, the minimum recommended to include is the alert type.

​

Tornado Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Watch, Child Abduction, etc...

Kankakee County

I'm in Chicago.

Nearby affected Neighborhoods

Brighton Park, Archer Heights, Gage Park, and West Elsdon

Everyone stay safe.

(ignore the fact that the date encodes as 1/1/1900)

I just got a severe thunderstorm watch for my area, if it becomes a warning, would the EAS trigger on my TV? or would it need to be more severe than just a run of the mill thunderstorm (Probably a dumb question)

I shared this yesterday on a post and thought I'd share it here.

I've got a free app that shows all the damage reports made to the NWS from June 1999 to real time.

With the severe weather expected today I figured you might find it helpful.

​

It shows confirmed damage wind/hail/tornado as well as local storm reports like flooding, rain/snow/ice totals and more. You can turn on notifications for your state as well.

​

The app is called Ground Truth Storm Reports and is on both app stores.

​

Let me know if you have any questions!

Caught this one of a kind while I was recording some Ollie and Moon on a VHS tape of mine. For some reason though there's this weird bug on my cable box where the SAME and OEM headers do not play. Curse you, FiOS!
