TheWeatherPimp Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Birmingham has a FAR of less than 45%. They tend to be one of the more conservative offices with TOR Warnings. I would say they probably have a good reason for using the Tornado Emergency in Marion County. I think overall the NWS offices have gotten much better about saving the Tornado Emergency for life threatening devastating situations compared to a year or two ago.

SmokeEater Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The term tornado emergency is going to become meaningless very soon. People will get used to it. There's multiple reports of a large multivortex tornado on the Hamilton storm, from spotters, and PD. Don't know why it says radar indicated. Every TE today has been because of a large tornado.

PSUBlizzicane2007 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The term tornado emergency is going to become meaningless very soon. People will get used to it. This is nonsense. The NWS Offices as a whole have made excellent decisions, for the most part, in issuing Tornado Emergencies. The only exception so far I would say was the miss of a tornado emergency for the Yazoo storm earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
