If you look at the weather maps that were included in some of the posts, the extreme western portion of Virginia was in the path of the storm—not the northern panhandle of West Virginia.
Well having a freak EF-1 in Washinton (PNW) sure got my attention to how quick a tornado can hit.
We don’t have tornado’s hence our weather man saying no reason to have an alert system like ya’ll do.
We do have earthquakes and live in a Tsunami area.
When putting in our warnig system aka sirens one concern is tourists from tornado areas maybe here visiting and get confused instead of going to higher ground they might seek shelter in a basement.
We now are trying out the reverse 911 alert system.
We have a weather radio as most of the county since our flub up tsunami alert a few years back.
BurbankKen is real good in his Cali area with reporting from his scanner when action happens in his southern cali area.
I have a scanner but the traffic is nill do to computer communication with LEO.
If cable goes down then we get traffic over the scanner.
Been watching KATU2 all day.
Boy was that a scary thing for us wet ducks.
Then the extra flooding this year and hurricane force winds on the coast.
Been a rough year...couple of years actually.
Steve Dunn and Natalie Marmor had been on the air for 3hrs reporting pics/video and on the update Steve say repeating for those coming home from work
We had an destructive earthquake today at 12:38....Natalie reaches across the desk and gently pats him and says Tornado he looked at her and said did I just say earthquake...we got a chuckle...love live tv.
They were tracking it South of Ashland on radar, but once it hits the mo river they usually don’t stay on the ground.
I was heading home not knowing what to expect. I was relieved to see they were over hyping it. They had a radio news reporter saying there were trees down in Ashland, but it was just all of the massive piles of limbs everywhere from the December ice storm.
We did have some golf ball sized hail in the yard, but you had to look for them. The rest of the hail was quarter to dime sized. We got lucky.
I just now got back online. Lots of power outages around me. But I’m fine and have power and cable!!! I don’t know whether there were any touchdowns though.
It is not stopping yet. Very impressive outbreak.
