Interesting. A keeper. Thanks. I've been away from emergency services for
several years.

My area's NWS office, with its Doppler radar, is just a few miles down the
highway from me.

A few years ago, that office had a fellow who would punch the button and give a
warning annoucement in real time. Now the duds there, even though a ham is in
charge (or was), wait for the 5-minute tape to get around to a certain point
and then tape their severe storm warning. By the time it's broadcast, the storm
has already blown through. LOL

BTW I assume you are referring to Pittsburgh PA, not KS or CA. G I do
remember tornadoes in PA when I was there in 1960. And again in, I think, 1990.
