yes it is.

True

[@jrmcferren]

They actually interviewed the guy who sounded this alarm. They only do it in the most extreme situations. He said they hadn't issued one in over 10 years until this tornado came along. Scary stuff.

[@orangejoe204]

I think they did a live one here just because of how busy they were. Less time to read out loud than type, especially when you're in the middle of a tornado emergency. The guy clearly didn't sound upset and the message wasn't unusually "enhanced", so I doubt it was done for impact purposes.

[@progenitor_amborella]

True, but they don’t type out the whole message. WarnGen generates most all of text based on the parameters they pick. It’s also possible because TOR-E only has parameters in certain offices because it’s not technically official, like PDS/VDS. NWS Des Moines is a good example of such an office.

[@vcxmp2k124]

But if there busy issuing many warnings in a certain radius then shit is real

[@littlemissleslie2345]

[@souls0007]

A Tornado Emergency is different from a Tornado Warning. A Tornado Emergency indicates critical threat to structures and people. A Tornado Warning indicates a normal level of threat from a tornado.

[@michaellovely6601]

The criteria for the National Weather Service to issue a Tornado Emergency is extremely strict to avoid overusing the term and here it is: 1.) A large, destructive and violent tornado (typically between EF2 and EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale) has been sighted by either trained storm spotters, law enforcement officers, or Doppler radar. 2.) The tornado is quickly heading towards a densely populated area. 3.) There is a high possibility of deaths or serious injuries resulting from the tornado. The first ever Tornado Emergency was issued during the May 3, 1999 tornado that tore through Moore, Oklahoma and the text from the broadcast is extremely sobering: "Tornado Emergency in south Oklahoma City metro area! At 6:57 PM Central Daylight Time; a large tornado was moving along Interstate 44 west of Newcastle. On its present path; this large damaging tornado will enter southwest sections of the Oklahoma City metro area between 7:15 PM and 7:30 PM. Persons in Moore and south Oklahoma City should take immediate tornado precautions! This is an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation! If you are in the path of this large and destructive tornado; take cover immediately! Doppler radar indicated this storm may contain destructive hail up to the size of baseballs, or larger."

[@lindsayrenee3370]

Wayyyyyy

[@LifeofAriana578]

And a PDS is in between the two in some cases.

[@spingleboygle]

i like to think of it in taco. a watch is when you have all the ingredients for a taco, a warning is when the taco is assembled, and an emergency is when i’m eating the taco.

[@24ccorrell]

I didn't even realize there were events that an actual live voice came on air. Wow. That's how you know you're fucked.

[@chriswideman4284]

This is a severe weather statement. A tornado warning remains in effect until 3:45 for northwestern McClain, and southern Oklahoma and northern Cleveland counties. This is a Tornado Emergency for Moore and southern portions of Oklahoma City. At 3:08, we are tracking a large extremely dangerous tornado 4 miles west of Moore, moving northeast at 20 miles an hour, little addition to the tornado , large destructive hail up to tennis ball size can be expected. Midwest City, Moore, Newcastle, Stanley Draper Lake, Tinker Air Force Base, and Valley Brook are directly affected by this.

[@King_Whitebread]

in* addition

[@alexgilbert2]

I love the severe weather statements, it’s pretty cool how they did the live one

[@danplaysyt5893]

Live voices are usually used when all of the AI voices are down in the area, but it's also used on stuff like weekly tests or somethin.

[@theunknown7683]

Or when the situation is deadly enough to warrant it.

[@illuminatadarlington50]

Back on the old systems. Sometimes they used really funny voices when things went down

[@Thicc_Cheese_Dip]

Could be one of the County Emergency Management Agencies. I'd guess this was from either Cleveland County or Oklahoma County EMA.

[@bizzimartini]

​@Thicc_Cheese_Dip it was from NWS Norman

[@kacees4644]

that beep put a chill in my throat!

[@HuskyGamersUNITE]

You have to live within the broadcast range of the radio tower for the station that issued it. It's usually a multi-county area. You don't have to live within in the actual town to receive the broadcast.

[@nativetoalaska]

Wow, proves this was serious, last time I heard a live voice was a CAE for Kansas City a few years ago.

[@carbonwolf1087]

Why was a CAE voiced?

[@michaellovely6601]

@@carbonwolf1087 A lot of jurisdictions use a live voice in the event of a Child Abduction Emergency. In Ohio (the state I live in) the sheriff of the county where the abduction took place issues the bulletin.

[@Pyrotech56]

One of the problems when you do that is that it becomes very easy to miss tone alerting new tornado warnings elsewhere if you are focused on just one large tornado.

[@realmechanicalstorm]

Yeah and usually when there's a tornado large enough to be an emergency it isn't the only one in the state

[@eascec8374]

On That Day, 37 Tornadoes Broke In From Waco To Dallas To Oklahoma City Through Missouri Up Towards Indianapolis, And even 2 Tornadoes Broke Into Colorado And Kansas Border. 281/5 Wind Reports Broke Free From Waco up Towards Northern Michigan. And 129/8 Hail Reports Blew Through Dallas To Indianapolis From Parts Of Northern Michigan And some in Iowa To North Carolina.

[@StormChaserMaci.]

I remember this EF5 tornado of Moore Oklahoma VERY well like it happened yesterday. This day was catastrophic. The NWS rarely ever goes live like that over the EAS system. If you hear them go live: THAT'S SERIOUS. I'm a an advanced SKYWARN storm chaser for them & have heard them live only 1 time before in person. Reed Timmer himself was shaken to the core over this tornado when he saw what it did to town. The quote I remember most from that day that sticks with me more than 10 years later: "This is May 3rd all over again." I can never unsee this tornado from 2013, or the one from 1999 when I hear the name Moore, OK. 2024 will mark 11 years without an EF5 is we don't see one this next year. I have a sneaky feeling we may see one after 11 years with this El Niño ramping up.

[@stingsAUTTP]

When the voice is live and not a computer, you know that means it’s gonna be a nightmare of a situation.

[@679steelers9]

[@idkwhattoputhere447]

Genuinely sends chills down my spine knowing what this tornado did to Moore, and that they had to do live voice to show how severe it was...

[@rdfox76]

I've heard tone-alerted SWSes before (WFO DTX is a bit trigger-happy with their tone alerts), but I can't remember the last time I heard a live message instead of it being sent out through the synth. Back in the 90s at the latest... back when they had only the "Stephen Hawking" synth voice, and half the routine cycle was still taped live.

Could be that the NWS station was having a problem with "Paul" (couldn't type fast enough?) and buddy jumped on the mic to get the warning updates on the air. Just guessing.

I was there in the shelter safe from the tornado it was a quarter mile from my house

[@ianalec11]

How did you get this?

[@abedbush]

The whole reason for the CRS upgrade back around 1998-99 was to replace people with text to speech synthesized voices to save time, money, and lives. The argument for this billion plus dollar upgrade was that it would be much more efficient, timely, and FAST to merely type up the warning, and it immediately gets inserted into the broadcast cycle instead of having to wait for a person to go over to the microphone, read and record whatever product they're issuing, then MANUALLY insert it into the broadcast which wastes tons of time, according to the NWS. So I'm a little confused why they spent all the extra time to do this manual voice recording here, instead of the much quicker and efficient text to speech automated process. Yes it was a tornado emergency, which one would think would be the most crucial and necessary method they should have been using for dissemination because it probably took like 4-5 additional minutes to get this tornado emergency broadcast due to doing it manually.

So my aunt said yes and they left about an hour or 2 before this storm came sand since I’m from the south I don’t think too much of storms, we get this kind of thing every day in the summer. Anyways I was in the bathroom when my mom called to warn me about the incoming Tornado and she tried again and I could hear the fear in her voice and she’s from Scotland she came here in the 70’s to South Carolina and her voice gets deep when she is scared. Anyways a day I’ll never forget. Sorry for the long comment and for any typos.
