Watch for the Emergency Alert System cable override.Luckly the tornado miss my house.Stokesdale and Madison wasn't as lucky.The tornado was spawned from Hurricane Ivan.
This was one of the worst days of my life. It’s so crazy that I found this. My house was on mineral springs road. My mom, brother and I were at home when my dad called from work and said “there’s a tornado on ellisboro road” we immediately went into the center of the house (bathroom) and no sooner than we sat down I could hear it coming. It deafening loud. It was unfortunately a direct hit. Since this was during a hurricane there was water pouring down the walls in just a matter of minutes. We had a step down kitchen and there was 3 inches of water in the floor by that night. How it was that much, I don’t know. My dad had to gut every room in the house except two. Everything in the house had to be replaced. Floors, Sheetrock, insulation, furniture, windows, wiring, literally everything… which was a lot because the house was about 2500 square ft and 4br. Thankfully we had a great support system and had a lot of help on the weekends from friends and family. The only thing my dad hired someone to do was the roofing. A tree fell on our camper, cutting it in half. So we had to buy a new one and we lived there until the following March when the house was finished.
Watched in September 2014, and it's over 10 years having the same EAS sound effects since the late 1990s. There are still those 3 buzzes for 2014 EAS, and maybe still it'll be the same for 2015! Almost 18 years of having the same sound effects! :O
I was 9. It hit my house in Madison and me, my brother and mom were inside. My dad called from work and said there’s a tornado on ellisboro road. Our house was on mineral springs. She hung up and we went in the bathroom, and I’ll never forget how as soon as se went in there we could hear it coming. It ripped the roof off and since it was during a hurricane, by the end of the day we had standing water in the floor and pouring down every wall. The insurance screwed us over and we only got $18,000 for a 2,500 square foot 4 bedroom house. It costed my dad almost $60,000 to fix the place and he did all of the work himself besides the roof. He and our family and friends worked every Saturday for six months and we finally moved back in mid March 2005. We lived in a camper during this time.
Strange thing now is NC is begging for rain!Ivan dumped heavy rain here too. I set my DVD recorder to burn TPIR that day, since my local CBS station WFMY 2 was on storm alert.
The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Warning for the following counties: Rockingham NC - Henry VA - Martinsville (city) VA. Effective Until 09/17/04 12:02:00 EDT. (TWC )
Oh my gosh! I get this channel! I live in Lynchburg VA, but I don't remember seeing this. Since The Price Is Right was on, I must have been at school or something that day. or maybe I hadn't gotten up yet.
I remember this... assload of rain caused widespread flooding across Pittsburgh. Boats were all over the place and there was crap in the river as far as the eye can see.
@sammy122576 The counties that had the tornado warning weren't on the school closings list, so they probably made the students there take cover like you. All the other counties probably let out early so that they wouldn't have to do the same thing when it got to those areas.
If WDBJ News 7 didn't interrupt TPIR during the Dice Game with their severe weather special report, than the cable EAS would have one way or the other. You wouldn't gonna see that lady win the new car or lose the game.
@talladegajunkie1439 yea... i'd be scared... i especially hate the eas alert at night but when they BLAST the volume to it sounds all distorted an loud...
@talladegajunkie1439 idk why they have to make such scary sounds... they say its so u focus on the alert... they could easily just do a beep sound or something so that people dont turn off the tv instanly cuz the sound scares them. Besides thats what i do XD.

I kinda miss the old station tones whenever there was an alert. They kinda faded out in the 2000's.
This was exactly a year after Hurricane Isabel hit NC, VA, MD and so on...
If I remember correctly,lots of flooding/severe t'storms closed the schools early.This was from what was left from Hurricane Ivan.

I couldn't imagine going through that. Got lucky again a couple of weeks ago with that tornado.
@@UNCJerry77 thank you! And yes we did. I know it did some damage but it could have been worse and thankfully no one was killed
I'm glad it didn't! :)
March 20th 1998,an F3 tornado missed my house by four blocks! I guess I have some luck.
3:23 best part
@eXtReMePuNk013 It was the remnants of Hurricane Ivan. It hadn't yet lost its rotation and circular shape.
It's common that tropical systems form tornadoes after landfall.The north to northeast part of the storm usually produces the most tornadoes.
The wind shear Ivan encountered approaching landfall gave the tornadoes a kick in the pants, they weren't quick spinners
this really shows how close rockingham and martinsville speedways are to each other
Rockingham county and rockingham speedway are seperate, rockingham speedway is closer to Darlington
An F-3 was head toward my trailer when it split into two and missed it just barely! I was only three years old when that happened.
that was a very impressive structure for the system to have been well over land
Hurricane Ivan was an impressive system, it survived the land trek and was able to reform after this
Watched in September 2014, and it's over 10 years having the same EAS sound effects since the late 1990s. There are still those 3 buzzes for 2014 EAS, and maybe still it'll be the same for 2015! Almost 18 years of having the same sound effects! :O
+Monsieur Wright holy shit that scared me! (if you're going to listen turn your volume wayy down)
i remember this...im in georgia and it had like 7 types of spinning reports and warnings and fun stuff like that =]
I feel bad for the people that try to watch the price is right :(
OMG this is very scary! it @ 3:16 when he says REPEAT WE HAVE A TORNADO ON THE GROUND it skips him and does the EAS. This is scary :(
I was a child when I encountered this tornado I was 4 at the time wow time flies
I was 7 years old when this happened, but thankfully I was in California.
I was 9. It hit my house in Madison and me, my brother and mom were inside. My dad called from work and said there’s a tornado on ellisboro road. Our house was on mineral springs.

I went to Martsinville back in October and what's sad is, I know all those locations that are impacted.
Strange thing now is NC is begging for rain!Ivan dumped heavy rain here too. I set my DVD recorder to burn TPIR that day, since my local CBS station WFMY 2 was on storm alert.

@Rebel056, same here. They had a Tornado Warning for Wilkes and I still got spooked.
Oh my gosh! I get this channel! I live in Lynchburg VA, but I don't remember seeing this. Since The Price Is Right was on, I must have been at school or something that day. or maybe I hadn't gotten up yet.
Possibly one of the most infamous EAS alerts known in the community.
Why is it infamous
I remember this... assload of rain caused widespread flooding across Pittsburgh. Boats were all over the place and there was crap in the river as far as the eye can see.

That tornado hit on March 20th 1998. This one was a close call.
If WDBJ News 7 didn't interrupt TPIR during the Dice Game with their severe weather special report, than the cable EAS would have one way or the other. You wouldn't gonna see that lady win the new car or lose the game.
RIP Bob Barker
The Price is Right got pwned by the National Weather Service.
Tornadoes in North Carolina are always the result of a hurricane.
Not always.
You have to settle for Drew now! :)
3:27 Whoever is doing that, quit it. It's out of control, and it's not the perfect time...
All i know is that Rockingham County gets WDBJ on cable. This is why the EAS went over the live DBJ wx broadcast.
@talladegajunkie1439 yea... i'd be scared... i especially hate the eas alert at night but when they BLAST the volume to it sounds all distorted an loud...
WOOHOO THE PRICE IS RIGHT
@Boots1282, it was Hurricane Ivan slamming NC
@talladegajunkie1439 yea but its just scary how the EAS activated immediatly once they found out the tornado hit the ground.
It took a few hours.
Hey, what's with all the static on the EAS Override?
@Rebel056, did u notice that the NWS almost mowed over their voice with that beep.
On the southwest Rockingham county **EAS tones**
Why were there schools closing early?
Channel 7 interrupted "The price is right", and then, the EAS interrupted Channel 7's Emergency broadcast! WTF
@Mega Yoshi
Some cable providers have their own EAS, so that's why the EAS interrupted the tornado warning.
Didnt they have a Tornado Watch for NW North Carolina/SW Virginia?
@biggiebrain i think it was mr. rogers neighborhood
i was so close from being a part of that man i live in NC union county yeah pretty close
Did she win the car? j/k... good video... that radar system is gangsta as heck.
@Rebel056, When I waqs 10-11 i was damn scared of those EAS radio warnings.
@Rblxstudio they really not suppose to do that when we had a tornado warning at school we didn't get sent home we had to take cover until it pass
Sept. 17th 2004.
Dang! Was the number higher or lower?!
this is gonna be my fave vid cuz bob barker is on xD
The Price is Right causes twisters
Go to 3:20 to start Blue screen.
What time do i see the EAS
...Blacksburg
Then YOU WIN! YAY!
@talladegajunkie1439 Im 18 and I still am to this day :(
@talladegajunkie1439 idk why they have to make such scary sounds... they say its so u focus on the alert... they could easily just do a beep sound or something so that people dont turn off the tv instanly cuz the sound scares them. Besides thats what i do XD.
SIX NINETY NINE!!!!
yay it didn't get ur house
what storm was this looks likes a hurricane
Hurricane Ivan 2004
@Rebel056, it's almost like the NWS had ESP that day. Fuckin creepy.
Vhs tape?
No an DVD recorded on SLP. Same result.
The Blue EAS is fake, Channel 7 says Henry county, but the Blue EAS says Rockingham (I didn't watch all the way)
I wouldn't say that It's a fake. This is a geniune alert that was issued during the tornado outbreak spawned by Hurricane Ivan.
easalert88 I know I didn't watch it all
Ah. Understood.
@@easalert88 The screen is not fake, Its Used by Charter/Spectrum Cable
woo hoo Bob Barker
this scary as shit
i would of won i would of bid 750
Actually I wonder the same thing! lol
lol the price is right
Interrupt Bob Barker,How DARE they!
Kirk Morgan they have to during a tornado warning just like the meteorologist stay on the air until the warning has expired or cancelled
@KOFILMSANDMEDIA LMFAO!
LOL Hooker Furniture
@KOFILMSANDMEDIA LOL
