There was a bad typo at 1:55, "In addition to a tornado, tennis ball size is expected with this storm." Obviously they only put in the hail size comparison, and didn't bother to add in "large damaging/destructive hail up to" before it!

[@suddenchangessans3119]

This is a bad typo

[@theEASexperience]

You can send an idea for a request to me. I may do it in the future, or I may not.

[@theEASexperience]

I use a special program and my personally created code to display a screen similar to what an EAS would look like on television.

[@santinojozefmiller7721]

10:07 why did the Tom voice become louder?

[@HenryStickmin995]

It kinda looks like a tornado but I live in greenville so me and my brother was hiding with my family and I was trying to start crying but I did not even want too.

[@HenryStickmin995]

I mean like why is the voice loud?

[@meriatonB]

Very nicely done! Thank you!

[@cantore98]

That's really cool. Keep up the good work!

[@CraigBaker96837]

The audio is an actual recording from a weather radio. He just creates the screens, I believe.

[@LaClavegn]

Thanks for sharing my son use to play with this💫

[@theEASexperience]

You are correct

[@Owoshi]

The way the EAS voice says "Miles Per Hour" differentiates across the U.S. For example: Oklahoma: moving (whatever direction) at (something) miles AN hour. Elsewhere in the US: moving (whatever direction) at (something) miles PER hour.

LOL Its the guy who makes the EAS MOCKS. IDK why you dont use the VALID tones. you can find the EAS Tones on YT, Get the URL, then find a youtube to mp3 converter, paste the url, and download the mp3.

[@fullmetaldeath88]

I was in the tornado, but I was lucky enough to be unscathed. I never got to hear this because the weather cut off the signal. I hope I hear it next time.

[@MW3ACRisbeast]

Yes, the screen is nearly identical to the ones used in Oklahoma, (or at least in the KOTV-6 TULSA viewing area) except the font is different on the text

[@cantore98]

How do you make these? They are so cool!

@@joshbrony2204 Some residents of Moore, Oklahoma consider the May 20th, 2013 tornado to be a deadly second act to the deadlier and more infamous May 3rd, 1999 tornado.

[@TheLennyLegoShow]

The Oklahoma usually do it differently for some reason. The voice is the same but the wording is different. better (at least I find so for some reason) Here are the differences. Oklahoma EAS "So and So county in central Oklahoma.........." Other states EAS "So and So county...." (NOTE: Actually some states do the same as above, others do this). Oklahoma EAS "Until 00:00PM Central Daylight Time" Other states EAS "Untill 00:00PM" Oklahoma EAS "At 00:00PM Central Day Light Time, NWS Radar indicated a severe thunderstorm along line extending from [whatever cities] moving [direction] at ??MPH. Hazards in the warning include...(wind gusts to 60mph, hail up to the size of whatever, etc). Other states EAS "At 00:00PM, NWS doplar radar, indicated a severe thunder storm capable of producing damaging winds in excess of 60 mph (that wording is different). Oklahoma EAS "Locations in the warning include......." Other States EAS "Locations impacted include.........." Oklahoma EAS "This includes I-?? between mile markers ?? and ??." Other States EAS "This storm will affect I-?? between mile markers ?? and ??".

The tornado touched down just northwest of Newcastle at 2:56 p.m. CDT (19:46 UTC), and stayed on the ground for 37 minutes over a 17-mile (27 km) path, crossing through a heavily populated section of Moore. The tornado was 1.3 miles (2.1 km) wide at its peak. It followed a roughly similar track to the deadlier 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado, which was similar in size and severity; however, very few homes and neither of the stricken schools in the area had purpose-built storm shelters in the intervening years since the earlier tornado struck Moore.

[@tatertot25555]

why cant they use a voice more soothing so that it doesnt cause panic if morgan freeman told me to get to my basement id be calm as can be

[@Galactipod]

Here's the thing: They WANT to scare you so that you actually take cover.

[@vixity6785]

No because it would take too long to get a real person to get on air to the right place to warn YOU

Unfortunately this was just the warm-up for what was yet to come...

[@michaellovely6601]

When Moore, Oklahoma was decimated by the tornado on May 20, 2013; I couldn't keep myself from crying when I got the news that seven innocent children were killed by the tornado at Plaza Towers Elementary School. It was the second time I have cried over the deaths of young children; the first time was when I heard that twenty innocent children were murdered by a deranged madman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012.
