“An Outbreak in the Piedmont” - EAS Scenario

Piedmont is a region that lies east of Appalachian and west of the Coastal Plain, from E AL into C NJ.
What would a combo of mountain/terrain enhancement, cold jetstream from the west, and warm Atlantic temperatures result in? An outbreak of unseen proportions across the Piedmont, GA/SC/NC/VA
I would recommend keeping volume medium to high, but always have it on the low side, as there are sound jumpscares

You blew away my hometown (Amherst County and Lynchburg, VA) AND where I live right now (Kannapolis, NC). Stop stalking me, dude! :) BTW, I don't think Lynchburg VA has ever been hit by a tornado, which surprises me as weak tornadoes do appear in the Piedmont every several years. Now in '92 I rode out one mother of a downburst with 90 mph winds there, but don't ever remember any confirmed tornadoes in that area.

These videos are some really high-quality documentaries. I love how you add realistic radar coverage to the videos, which makes them way better and more engaging to watch the whole way through.

59:09 >Concord and Kannapolis Taking the NASCAR tornado meme to extreme levels. The same tornado mentioned earlier has just hit the NASCAR Hall of Fame in downtown Charlotte and is now headed for not only Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, but Kannapolis as well. If there's one thing the city of Kannapolis, North Carolina is known for, it's their most famous family. Even a non-NASCAR fan knows what the last name Earnhardt means! >inb4 the next target is Randleman... the birthplace of Richard Petty

[@Moose6340]

If you watch a lot of EAS scenarios from some of the regulars here on KZbin, yeah, it's practically a meme for Lake Norman (Huntersville, Mooresville) and the I-85 corridor NE of Charlotte (Concord, Kannapolis, Salisbury) to get it almost every time. If we're not getting steamrolled by an EF4, we're getting irradiated when the McGuire Nuclear Station blows up. :)

[@CycloneSakura]

Idk if you know much about Formula 1, but there's an F1 team headquartered in Kannapolis: Haas

[@jamestaylor4480]

I would like to see a classic Deep South outbreak of undescribable proportions

[@dmitri546]

So, another April 27th?

[@jamestaylor4480]

@@dmitri546 Worser than April 27th.

[@BitzerDogTaylorsVersion13]

Fun fact: Mr. Beast was under the PDS Tornado Warning at 58:25

[@eggdaily]

he lives in greenville north carolina not where this warning is

[@caydenruzicka]

It would be cool if you could do one about your interpretation of what a classic plains outbreak would look like centered over the DFW area and souronding places

[@WeatherWatcher14]

Oooo this includes my neck of the woods! Lemme get my popcorn 😂

[@IUseRandomPfps]

Really good and sadly underrated. Keep making these, I can tel you'll be in the ranks with figures like easalert88 someday.

[@ArkAwaits]

dont tend to see many eas videos for my area, and like, im literally 25 seconds in, that risk map there puts me rn directly in the higest risk area and its a little funny. people round here thing the mountains mean we dont get tornados but oh man we still get em. gonna listen more now, will reply w updates maybe if i remember

[@ArkAwaits]

update: i googled and discovered that just as i suspected, most of my area has fuck all in the way of tornado sirens, however one place that does is bedford, which is neat bc ive lived here for over a decade and never knew we had a siren bc theyve never tested it ever. apparently there was a statewide test of sirens march 2022 which only further confused me because i again never heard the test. cool info to have anyways! weird that neither roanoke nor lynchburg have any sirens considering the populations

[@fixman88]

Impressive work. I remember when I was down in the Twin Cities 7 or 8 years ago there was a Severe Thunderstorm Warning so severe (I'm guessing it was a PDS) that the NOAA Weather actually said, 'Outdoor Warning Siren activation is recommended.' As for backups, Saint Cloud (where I live) has overlapping stations. Saint Cloud has its own (WXL65) bit it's also covered by Clearwater (WNG676) and is on the edge of coverage for Long Prairie (WNG673) and Willmar (WXK44). One night a few years ago I actually got all four on my Midland HH50, impressive VHF DX for that little thing. I have quite a few Weather Radios. Radio Shack was the king of them for years (considering they *invented* them). I have an original Weather Cube from around 1984 and the last model of cube they made from around 2009, and a 1980 vintage Pocket WeatherRadio Alert, among others.

[@BedfordEAS]

Definitely not something I'd want to see in my neck of the woods

[@MrGreenandPurple]

thank goodness I'm not under the gun here

[@What-lt3lj]

So, i live in Maryland which is part of the piedmont, and just this week i had to shelter in the basement of a church in the middle of youth group because of one of several tornado warnings. Just a short drive away, a long-track tornado tore a 60-plus mile path accross my county and was on the ground for 2 hours. That just does not happen here.

[@NewYork_Gaming]

I would like to see a severe weather outbreak with long track tornadoes in Southern NY (Long Island and NYC Metro)

[@DowntownWithBrown]

14:47 Minor thing, but Bedford has not been independent of Bedford County since 2013. Excellent scenario otherwise. Quick edit: you also listed Jamestown twice at 49:14.

[@bw-leftturnracing7779]

Another great scenario. Echo what I said in the derecho one, I love the scenarios that look like they could be real outbreaks.

[@SLINGSH07]

well done!

[@terbin4487]

I like the EAS videos that aren’t always some super natural, world ending disaster. Although I gotta say the NoAA reading just saying “Rip” around 1:10:00 made me cackle

[@roygoodhand1301]

42:10 EAS Mock Scenario Meme -- Tornadoes in southwestern North Carolina will invariably head for cities connected with NASCAR. Welcome, NC is the birthplace of NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Childress as well as Daytona 500 winner Austin Dillon.

[@davidmatthewvinotjr8396]

Charlotte (Hall of Fame and major City of the Carolinas) Concord (Charlotte (Lowe’s) Motor Speedway) Welcome (Home of RCR (Richard Childress Racing), and Mr Irony (Austin Dillon) (the reasoning is due to his 2018 D500 win fell on Feb 18th, (Date Dale Sr Died in 2001) and when the checkered flag flew at the 2021 D500, Dillon was placed Third, which was the same spot Dale Earnhardt was when he had his fatal accident 20 years earlier (Final scoring placed Dale Sr 12th) Kannapolis (Home of The Earnhardt Family) As well as numerous race teams. I bet Hendrick got some very heavy damage, as well as Roush-Fenway and Gibbs. North Wilkesboro looks like it’s going to have major damage as well. Being further east, Rockingham and Darlington are both borderline on damage severity. The slight/enhanced lines run through or right around both places… one or both of them got out mostly spared… I think.

[@NintendoGamer2600]

Great scenario here!!! But of course, I would never want this to actually happen. Especially since my grandmother lives in Greensboro. And I also have family in the Atlanta metro.

[@Nadine-bv3jm]

This is the time for something that has been done only once before and that was in Indiana. The entire state of GA and North Carolina are under a tornado warning. Add other states as needed.

[@Connerflows]

You should try doing a Indiana tornado outbreak with Brownsburg getting hit and then Indianapolis

[@Lonemacaroon]

This is good

[@Michael74210]

I would be possibly dead in this scenario. Anyway, Awesome scenario!

[@SpookyYT29]

How did you make this?

[@2xRjayy]

High risk is National Weather service wilmington kiln area

[@2Many74s]

WINSTONSALEM GOT RECOGNIZED!!!! oh wait thats bad Edit: you kinda remade this video a year later lol

[@davidmatthewvinotjr8396]

1:32 Soratown Mountain? It’s Sauratown Mountain, spelt S A U R A T O W N. However, the name is pronounced as SOURTOWN.

[@davidmatthewvinotjr8396]

43:47 Turner Field is now Georgia State Football Stadium. While the structure from when it was Turner Field is the same (a bulk of it at least), it’s been heavily reconfigured for football. You also failed to mention the MLK historic area district in the warning (which is just outside of Downtown Atlanta).

[@davidmatthewvinotjr8396]

1:12:59 WRAL AND WTVD have always stated their transmission towers being located in AUBURN, NC, not Garner

[@Idkmate_]

NOT PARTS OF NORTHERN GEORGIA GETTING MASS TORNADO EMERGENCIED

[@edwardsr70]

Damaging Wines 😂😂😂

[@elliotgreer5677]

Bro how do u know where I live.

[@roygoodhand1301]

What day does this take place on?

[@roygoodhand1301]

Thought so... here's hoping nobody has to get their cars for Talladega from their headquarters, otherwise EVERY SINGLE NASCAR CUP SERIES TEAM COULD BE WIPED OUT BY A SINGLE TORNADO...ALONG WITH EVERY XFINITY SERIES TEAM!

[@roygoodhand1301]

I asked since all three NASCAR major series races this weekend were at Martinsville Speedway, and the scenario starts less than two hours after the end of the Cup Series race.
