Truth. We did this in CT during the rare tornado in Bridgeport. The NWS can come on, as can anyone from the radio/TV stations with endecs if authorised.
They actually interviewed the guy who sounded this alarm. They only do it in the most extreme situations. He said they hadn't issued one in over 10 years until this tornado came along. Scary stuff.
@@crystalthewolf8945didn’t the Moore tornado start in el Reno and worked its way up to Moore? I watched people chase it and the radio guy said it was heading there on that same day
I think they did a live one here just because of how busy they were. Less time to read out loud than type, especially when you're in the middle of a tornado emergency. The guy clearly didn't sound upset and the message wasn't unusually "enhanced", so I doubt it was done for impact purposes.
True, but they don’t type out the whole message. WarnGen generates most all of text based on the parameters they pick. It’s also possible because TOR-E only has parameters in certain offices because it’s not technically official, like PDS/VDS. NWS Des Moines is a good example of such an office.
A Tornado Emergency is different from a Tornado Warning. A Tornado Emergency indicates critical threat to structures and people. A Tornado Warning indicates a normal level of threat from a tornado.
The criteria for the National Weather Service to issue a Tornado Emergency is extremely strict to avoid overusing the term and here it is: 1.) A large, destructive and violent tornado (typically between EF2 and EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale) has been sighted by either trained storm spotters, law enforcement officers, or Doppler radar. 2.) The tornado is quickly heading towards a densely populated area. 3.) There is a high possibility of deaths or serious injuries resulting from the tornado. The first ever Tornado Emergency was issued during the May 3, 1999 tornado that tore through Moore, Oklahoma and the text from the broadcast is extremely sobering: "Tornado Emergency in south Oklahoma City metro area! At 6:57 PM Central Daylight Time; a large tornado was moving along Interstate 44 west of Newcastle. On its present path; this large damaging tornado will enter southwest sections of the Oklahoma City metro area between 7:15 PM and 7:30 PM. Persons in Moore and south Oklahoma City should take immediate tornado precautions! This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation! If you are in the path of this large and destructive tornado; take cover immediately! Doppler radar indicated this storm may contain destructive hail up to the size of baseballs, or larger."
i like to think of it in taco. a watch is when you have all the ingredients for a taco, a warning is when the taco is assembled, and an emergency is when i’m eating the taco.
This is a severe weather statement. A tornado warning remains in effect until 3:45 for northwestern McClain, and southern Oklahoma and northern Cleveland counties. This is a Tornado Emergency for Moore and southern portions of Oklahoma City. At 3:08, we are tracking a large extremely dangerous tornado 4 miles west of Moore, moving northeast at 20 miles an hour, little addition to the tornado , large destructive hail up to tennis ball size can be expected. Midwest City, Moore, Newcastle, Stanley Draper Lake, Tinker Air Force Base, and Valley Brook are directly affected by this.
@@carbonwolf1087 A lot of jurisdictions use a live voice in the event of a Child Abduction Emergency. In Ohio (the state I live in) the sheriff of the county where the abduction took place issues the bulletin.
You have to live within the broadcast range of the radio tower for the station that issued it. It's usually a multi-county area. You don't have to live within in the actual town to receive the broadcast.
On That Day, 37 Tornadoes Broke In From Waco To Dallas To Oklahoma City Through Missouri Up Towards Indianapolis, And even 2 Tornadoes Broke Into Colorado And Kansas Border. 281/5 Wind Reports Broke Free From Waco up Towards Northern Michigan. And 129/8 Hail Reports Blew Through Dallas To Indianapolis From Parts Of Northern Michigan And some in Iowa To North Carolina.
I remember this EF5 tornado of Moore Oklahoma VERY well like it happened yesterday. This day was catastrophic. The NWS rarely ever goes live like that over the EAS system. If you hear them go live: THAT'S SERIOUS. I'm a an advanced SKYWARN storm chaser for them & have heard them live only 1 time before in person. Reed Timmer himself was shaken to the core over this tornado when he saw what it did to town. The quote I remember most from that day that sticks with me more than 10 years later: "This is May 3rd all over again." I can never unsee this tornado from 2013, or the one from 1999 when I hear the name Moore, OK. 2024 will mark 11 years without an EF5 is we don't see one this next year. I have a sneaky feeling we may see one after 11 years with this El Niño ramping up.
One of the problems when you do that is that it becomes very easy to miss tone alerting new tornado warnings elsewhere if you are focused on just one large tornado.
I've heard tone-alerted SWSes before (WFO DTX is a bit trigger-happy with their tone alerts), but I can't remember the last time I heard a live message instead of it being sent out through the synth. Back in the 90s at the latest... back when they had only the "Stephen Hawking" synth voice, and half the routine cycle was still taped live.
@@amarillotexrails18 Well, that particular tornado outbreak occurred on May 24, 2011; just two days after the tornado that tore through Joplin, Missouri. So the announcer was trying to keep his composure together on the air but was reminded of the Joplin tornado; and any one of the tornadoes in central Oklahoma during that outbreak had the potential to become just as deadly if not moreso than Joplin.
You know, there’s about 8states that come to mind when I hear the words Tornado Emergency. It’s Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Alabama, Nebraska and Kentucky. For whatever reason, it’s these states that can never seem to catch a break.
If you don’t know what this Tornado was This is the 2.5 miles long EF5 El Reno tornado the biggest Tornado in the world and it had recorded winds up to 295 MPH I Love tornadoes so that’s how I got my information
Actually, this was the Moore, OK EF5 tornado that occurred just 11 days prior to the El Reno tornado that you described. Both had tornado emergencies issued for them, and both had severe weather statements with live voices, so I can see how you got the 2 mixed up. To be honest, I get them mixed up sometimes
@@nicodo123 What is so heartbreaking about the May 20th, 2013 tornado that hit Moore, Oklahoma is that seven innocent children lost their lives at Plaza Towers Elementary School. It was the second time I have cried over the loss of young children; the first time was when I got the news that twenty children were murdered by a deranged madman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14th, 2012. Of course; many residents of Moore tend to consider the May 20th, 2013 tornado a deadly second act to the deadlier and more infamous May 3, 1999 tornado that killed thirty-six people. In fact, the residents of Moore who lived through the May 3rd tornado were saying after the May 20th tornado that they "couldn't believe it happened again!"
I was in that Tornado if I had the footage I’d show you but unfortunately I don’t , anyways on the way to visit my sister in California ? We decided to stop and visit my aunt who lived in El Reno at that time on the way thru we stopped the night before and the next day my mom and aunt and step dad took our tv to a store in another county and I asked if I could stay at my aunts house to watch tv ,y mom said if it’s okay with you’re aunt it’s okay with me. So my aunt said yes and they left about an hour or 2 before this storm came sand since I’m from the south I don’t think too much of storms, we get this kind of thing every day in the summer. Anyways I was in the bathroom when my mom called to warn me about the incoming Tornado and she tried again and I could hear the fear in her voice and she’s from Scotland she came here in the 70’s to South Carolina and her voice gets deep when she is scared. Anyways a day I’ll never forget. Sorry for the long comment and for any typos. I just remember grabbing my aunts cat and her storm cellar keys and running to her storm cellar I had about 2-5 mins before it flattened her house. No lie it’s a day I’ll never forget. I was only 15.
Somehow I saw a similar EAS Oklahoma tornado warning from the 90's with a SAME header (which it wasn't But I have no clue what it was so I'll just call it that) that sounded like a fire alarm on roids' and had a live EAS announcer. Must be a state exclusive thingie (kinda like that one AMBER tone in Northern texas....)
0:51 I never heard a live voice doing a severe weather report that is crazy I heard of a live voice doing a required monthly test but not a severe weather statement crazy wow.
Could be that the NWS station was having a problem with "Paul" (couldn't type fast enough?) and buddy jumped on the mic to get the warning updates on the air. Just guessing.
The whole reason for the CRS upgrade back around 1998-99 was to replace people with text to speech synthesized voices to save time, money, and lives. The argument for this billion plus dollar upgrade was that it would be much more efficient, timely, and FAST to merely type up the warning, and it immediately gets inserted into the broadcast cycle instead of having to wait for a person to go over to the microphone, read and record whatever product they're issuing, then MANUALLY insert it into the broadcast which wastes tons of time, according to the NWS. So I'm a little confused why they spent all the extra time to do this manual voice recording here, instead of the much quicker and efficient text to speech automated process. Yes it was a tornado emergency, which one would think would be the most crucial and necessary method they should have been using for dissemination because it probably took like 4-5 additional minutes to get this tornado emergency broadcast due to doing it manually.

This joker killed about 2 dozen people including a group of elementary students. It’s serious when a live voice interrupts a prerecorded tornado warning broadcast.
Fortunately, the criteria for a Tornado Emergency to be issued by the National Weather Service is extremely strict to prevent radio and television meteorologists from overusing the term and subsequently desensitizing the general public to the severity of the situation. Said criteria is three simple and easy to understand points for radio and TV meteorologists: 1.) A large destructive tornado (typically from EF2 to EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale) has been sighted by either storm spotters, Doppler radar or law enforcement agencies. 2.) The tornado is moving quickly towards a heavily populated area; so the public needs to seek shelter immediately. 3.) There is a high possibility of fatalities or serious injuries resulting from the tornado; so police officers, firefighters and paramedics need to prepare for mass casualties and injuries.
Periquito valencià el Músic In case you’re not joking, the alert issued was A Severe Weather Statement. This is identified by the radio as an advisory while some radios identify it as Statement.
undyne A tornado warning means a tornado is imminent and will be an average tornado, a tornado emergency means that a large tornado is either expected or on the ground, this may feature a Severe Weather Statement being issued.
You know it’s serious
When they do a live voice
yes it is.
True
NWS Baltimore/Washington (Based in Sterling, VA) uses either a live voice or (or more likely) a recording and not computer generated for routine weekly tests.
yes it is, when they do that you know shit has got real

Yea it's pretty rare. I think they only do it in situations of extreme danger, like this tornado emergency... Although I could be wrong
+Chris Rossi they did a live voice for a severe thunder storm warning idk why
+The Gameplay channel My station likely uses a live voice for every Required Weekly Test that is issued
Well live voices for tests are quite common but not for watches or warnings.
***** Oh, OK.
Little did we know this day would go down in History as the last known EF5 to touch in 11 years.

Live voices are usually used when all of the AI voices are down in the area, but it's also used on stuff like weekly tests or somethin.
Or when the situation is deadly enough to warrant it.
Back on the old systems. Sometimes they used really funny voices when things went down
Could be one of the County Emergency Management Agencies. I'd guess this was from either Cleveland County or Oklahoma County EMA.

They do a live voice if their systems for the robot voice is down for maintainance.
But these days, mostly during dangerous situations like this one.
That was so scary. I hope to not hear a TOR-E for my area
neither do i. if that were the case, that would be really hazardous
@@jayCLTeeee true
Fortunately, the criteria for a Tornado Emergency to be issued by the National Weather Service is extremely strict to prevent radio and television meteorologists from overusing the term and subsequently desensitizing the general public to the severity of the situation. Said criteria is three simple and easy to understand points for radio and TV meteorologists:
1.) A large destructive tornado (typically from EF2 to EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale) has been sighted by either storm spotters, Doppler radar or law enforcement agencies.
2.) The tornado is moving quickly towards a heavily populated area; so the public needs to seek shelter immediately.
3.) There is a high possibility of fatalities or serious injuries resulting from the tornado; so police officers, firefighters and paramedics need to prepare for mass casualties and injuries.
Not Cranford, but i think he uses a 3.5mm (standard headphone plug) to another headphone plug. there's my theory, feel free to poke holes in it
SAN ANTONIO DOESN'T DO THIS.... THEY DO IT SO LATE LIKE TWO SECONDS AFTER LIKE MINUTES AFTER
If it was a tornado emergency, why was "advisory" lit up instead of "warning"? 🤔🤨🤷🏼♂️
Periquito valencià el Músic In case you’re not joking, the alert issued was A Severe Weather Statement. This is identified by the radio as an advisory while some radios identify it as Statement.
Were you impacted by the tornado. And nice catch.

Whats the difference between tornado emergency and tornado warning
Tornado warning only affected small areas emergency is catastrophic damage and a higher population is in danger emergency’s are rare
Voice: baby
Intense!!!!
Oklahoma gets a lot of tornadoes, but what is the difference between tornado emergency and tornado warning?
A tornado warning means,there is a general tornado in the area. A tornado EMERGENCY means,that there is either an EF4 or EF5 tornado in the area.
Caution:Chaos! actually a tornado emergency can be issued when a dangerous tornado is gonna impact a large population.
undyne A tornado warning means a tornado is imminent and will be an average tornado, a tornado emergency means that a large tornado is either expected or on the ground, this may feature a Severe Weather Statement being issued.
