Real EAS Tornado Emergency for Northern Kentucky March 2nd, 2012 (EAS #3)

[@vortlcity2860]

“This...is a tornado EMERGENCY!”

[@CentralILEAS]

The stop between this and is lol

[@cac_deadlyrang]

“My God…”

[@SPCcranford1056]

So scary. Great capture man.

[@SincerelyWX]

Thanks!

[@SpeddyEddy]

Yoooo spccranford1056

[@SpeddyEddy]

I'm your very very best fan!

[@cookingforcoochie4004]

What in the world!? Spccranford!? Btw both spccranford1056 and this channel is awesome too.

[@gamingwithkylesws7036]

Did your get hit by the tornado?

[@juanjohnson8137]

These save LIVES especially if u are asleep at night and sleep hard they will wake you up!

[@2bytes4me]

I agree

[@kittyfuture1069]

matthew booth YES!!!!

[@zoeypelonis7413]

matthew booth all three you get a 1000

[@blackcitroenlove]

Truth

[@terun1978]

Especially in the Southeast. They are notorious for hitting overnight.

[@kevintucker466]

if I ever heard a Tornado Emergency issued for my area, my stomach would be right at my throat . . . it's not just a confirmed tornado, it's the intensity in a heavily populated area that gives the term *Tornado Emergency*

[@fuckudieinahole60]

Wrong, doesnt matter how strong it is infact 95% tornado emergenies are EF1s it only matters if its in the path of a populatiom center

[@heehejehehs]

yeah! “Tornado Emergency” sounds scary, it made my heart drop.

[@blackhawkrescuemissiongame8461]

No just the fact it’s heading into a populated area

[@heehejehehs]

@@blackhawkrescuemissiongame8461 i know but it sounds scary

[@Deutsch_Gamer]

@@blackhawkrescuemissiongame8461that and the fact that it is incredibly strong

[@Gevoface]

This is a great catch. It goes into such detail and even mentions other possible storms that aren’t near yet.

[@spccantonment]

This is a day in tornado history we will never forget for Kentucky and Indiana

[@hayden7432]

Tornado Emergencies are great catches. I remember this passing by, considering I live near.

[@SincerelyWX]

Risky move there... I'd imagine how much damage there was.

[@spccantonment]

Henryville, Indiana got hit hard by the same storm and had a Tornado that killed a lot

[@StormChaserMaci.]

@0:40 if you ever hear the EAS mention "storm spotter confirmed" you take cover. I am a trained NWS storm spotter/chaser and we don't just report a tornado directly to the NWS unless it's really on the ground, doing damage and have the proof sent to them. You hear that, it gets as serious as it gets. Nice capture!

[@jonathanschlack7210]

Nice catch. I actually caught a Tornado Emergency on September 1, 2021 here in Pennsylvania. That was the only Tornado Emergency I ever captured.

[@SincerelyWX]

+Abby Hobbs I got at Kroger, which is a grocery store chain around the great lakes 3 years ago after Christmas. You can find them at Walmart, RadioShack, Target, Best Buy, etc.

[@rileymckee168]

the beginning: another one, another one. XD

[@railfangraham4182]

this made chills go down my spine!

[@SPCmuncie]

i got my Midland HH50 at Meijer, which is a grocery store chain also around the great lakes, and is supposed to compete with Walmart

[@TheOneTimer]

WarrenOHWX8798 got mine at walmart

[@lightningrunner7250]

11 years old now. Crazy how time flies.

[@mannypiercefield1800]

This is the best EAS video I have ever seen! Even 2 years later!

[@ryzerun5029]

"Another one" lol

[@lambdastudios4083]

Get out

[@hayleyscomet3447]

[@RT42069]

0:06 the YOU'RE FUCKED sound

[@cannon4337]

OLOLOOLOLOLOLO

[@PublicAtLarge]

I lived in Florence when this happened. When it said "this is a tornado emergency", I got chills. This would be the storm that dropped the Crittenden tornado.

[@WesternMassEAS]

The words Tornado Emergency gave me fucking chills.

[@sandrabaca8210]

Drill: everyone is calm and safe. WARNING: TAKE COVER!!! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!

[@actionfire4036]

XD

[@RammerSTi]

Sums up the students at my school when there is a *flood* Also sounds like my AcuRite that is out of service.

[@victorniel368]

10 years later I will never forget this..

[@SincerelyWX]

Yeah. I only have S.A.M.E. codes in my radios in case of a National Emergencies. Not weather products.

[@LuckyDoge]

Strange no weather products

[@RayneHerring]

This is scary considering I heard my own counties name. Hello from Grant County!

[@aunteggmaniac]

the camera shaking and the audible gasp really sets the terffying message.

[@josephhenrie]

That is a Great system to have. Wish we could have something like this in our homes in southern Ontario

[@SincerelyWX]

They do have weather radios up in Canada. You can find most Midland radios in Canadian grocery stores if you are lucky. Your version of the National Weather Service is Environment Canada.

[@CSW994]

The video that got me into EAS. Love it!!

[@aametriigraham8489]

On 4/27/2011 the EAS was down and power out to 250,000 due to the early am storms. When the big tornadoes started in the afternoon warning was difficult. If yours had gone off for me like that I'd have a heart attack!

[@Galactipod]

The EAS can't "be down", it's a system on every television and radio station in the country. For the EAS to go down, every station has to be down.

[@perfectfae3534]

Holy shit. Thank you for sharing your video. It's nuts.

[@Somethingsomething4]

You feel like you're going to see this as your last then you see because they've never seen a PDS tornado warning but it's scary to go through tornado warning even if there is no tornado

[@CommandoMario]

Makes sense...I was just curious b/c mine only ever goes off if something's issued for Johnson County, IA. Anything issued to any of the surrounding counties doesn't set it off, but I'll still hear the EAS

[@dog25516AJ]

The new alarm clock system for kids who over sleep :D

[@irt3rdavenueel172]

That was so scary. But unfortunately there was nothing we were able to do to prevent the tornado from touching down

[@rhondahoward8025]

"Tornado Emergency" is basically an enhanced Tornado Warning and is similar to "A Particularly Dangerous Situation." There's either a squall line with tornadic storms embedded within, or a large, destructive tornado about to hit a heavily populated area. So yeah, it's serious. Tornado emergency is basically a guarantee that a tornado IS ON THE GROUND. Tornado Warning might just be doppler indicated rotation but you should still seek shelter!

[@rhondahoward8025]

@Beazilla What is TOR-C?

[@rhondahoward8025]

@Beazilla Thanks.

[@CycloneSakura]

​@Beazilla The definition of a TOR-E is a tornado that has to be on the ground headed for a major population center.

[@illuminatadarlington50]

There was a tornado emergency south of here a year ago that was a false alarm

[@CycloneSakura]

@@illuminatadarlington50 Yeah, there are some that never dropped a tornado

[@SPCmuncie]

i got a PDS Tornado Warning, that had a Tornado Emergency on it, the warning said "A Confirmed Large and Extremely Dangerous Tornado was located near Kokomo, moving east at 30 miles per hour, This is a particularly dangerous situation, take cover now!"

[@SMBrandon24]

I’m late to this party, but have the same radio. When we were trying to sell our home, the realtor told us to pack it up because of showings (during spring/summer). I said heck no. We live in central OH.

[@Sodor_AviationYT]

“oh god” “THE NATIONAL IS TO THIS DAY THERE IS A TORNADO”

[@Mythical6255]

The first Tornado Emergency in Southwest Ohio and there isn't even a News Channel 7 coverage video on KZbin because TheFritter is absent for the last 6 years

[@PublicAtLarge]

SDBM123 That's because this wasn't in the WHIO-TV area. This was covered by Cincinnati stations (WKRC, WCPO, WLWT, and WXIX).

[@trevorjohnson8993]

“To protect your life, take cover now!” Now that’s some scary wording.

[@AdamsSlotChannel]

actually a tornado emergency is when there is a large tornado approaching a highly populated area.

[@SincerelyWX]

I do. I said I only put county codes in case of a national emergency. heck I'll keep recording as everyone is watching!

[@cjelevators223]

Repeat, an extremely dangerous and potentially deadly tornado is on the ground.

[@Mike-01234]

My wife would go back to her families farm in the summer they had two of these one downstairs one upstairs. They both go off at the same time everyone would go in the basement. Only one time a Tornado came across the farm but it missed by about 1/4 mile.

[@2bytes4me]

The weird thing is, I have that exact same model weather radio.

[@jaxprodplays]

Midland WR120 I believe

[@CentralILEAS]

I haven’t heard that kind of warning tone for like 9 years and also that part where he says ANTHER ONE😂🤣 and the ANTHER ONE VOICE was at 0:00

[@HyperKing128]

I remember that day I was at my middle school. I had to get to my tornado area to know it may come for me. Thank god it never did.

[@gamingbecan8618]

You should have been in Oklahoma for the El reno tornado emergency it Drove me crazy

[@WildaTheRaccoon]

Holy shit, I was in high school when this tornado hit. The stories I heard from witnesses were horrifying.

[@RammerSTi]

Isn't it weird that of every state, even TORNADO ALLEY, Ohio has the most TOREs out there.

[@Burgoat9]

this was nws willmington first tornado emergency

[@Icybubba]

I am starting to understand the importance of these now

[@SincerelyWX]

R.I.P. Pants shitted in. XD

[@FeralFoxDX]

NWS Memphis just had the tornado tones then it says "Tornado emergency for -so and so- county."

[@PublicAtLarge]

This was the first time NWS Wilmington had ever issued a tornado emergency, and is prior to when the format for tornado emergency bulletins was more or less standardized. In 2019, Wilmington's tornado emergencies for the Dayton area followed that format.

[@BNSFWeatherGirl912]

Now that's a good catch

[@razrramonel4077]

I do remember this it was really bad in Henryville, Indiana which took a direct hit, just like Louisville, Kentucky took April 03, 1974, both April 03, 1974, & March 02, 2012 will go down in weather history as "Super Outbreaks".

[@TheWeathermenWX]

Wow! An amazing catch!

[@MatrixStudios1000]

Found it funny at 1:21, it said to "Pretect your life...". That is the first thime i heard that on a weather radio.

[@CrazyCreepersTube]

I heard it on tv for a flash flood warning in Omaha

[@singapore199]

CrazyCreepersTube "Act quickly to protect your life" is played for Flash Flood Warnings. I find it funny xD

[@SincerelyWX]

+SPCtorcon2000 Uh, that's not funny...

[@Cars2fan172]

Even If It Wasn't For Your County, You Should Always Be On The Look Out, and Listen for possible warnings.

[@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98]

I have one of these radios now? And thankfully I do? A few days ago we had confirmed tornadoes it’s confirmed on my other channel. How I know? Was it cut out right before it said “confirmed Tornado or a severe T storm capable of producing a Tornado”

[@DannoTechTips]

this…. is a tornado emergency.

[@TerrorwaveMusic]

I heard the sigh from him and I got so sad man

[@mxchasryy]

Yeah I know even on that day later after that alert the storm hit Henryville Indiana and had a Tornado Emergency it's real!! Don't believe me check Tornado Alley Episodes and you will find Real time Henryville March 2nd 2012

[@freddiedubs3556]

Omg this is the scariest Moment of everyone’s lives when you hear this you freak out

[@SincerelyWX]

That's good to hear!

[@Cat5irma]

We had a ef5 last night we Got missed but the flying derbies was bad bad. I was coming home from the zoo it touchdown near s truistpark seats were sucked up it flew towards me me we had to get away from the tornado

[@rickenman9844]

my county was under a tornado warning in september, it was saturday the 6th, it had been very hot and humid all day, then the storms popped up, we didn't get any damage in our area, we only dealt with heavy rain, deafening lighting, and winds gusting as high as 30 mph at a few short intervals, me and my dad drove to burger king and rode it out in the parking lot, the following monday, my whole class was talking about the storm

[@rickenman9844]

the day after the storm though, the weather was much better, while on the day of the storm the high was 93, the day after, the temperature struggled to reach the mid 70s

[@electricbrooke]

Someone decided to freak out on one of my TORs when it was sunny out when the TOR was being broadcasted.

[@pittsburgheas]

Was it a PDS tornado warning PDS particular dangerous situation

[@SincerelyWX]

No, it was a Tornado Emergency. Please read the title.

[@SincerelyWX]

Thanks Manny!

[@892guns]

Was going to ask if it'll work in Canada but noticing it the NOAA it won't work up here. And we get crazy ass storms up here.

[@Jemalacane0]

Does Environment Canada have area codes for Canada?

[@williammoses6232]

892guns, if you get one form your local drug store or a Walmart in Canada, they will be set up to receive you national weather service in Canada, the manual that comes with the radio also will list frequencies for service stations in your area, that serve your province or county, if I said that right, so you can set your radio to receive alerts only for your imediate area

[@williammoses6232]

Gammareign,,, yes they do, call up Environment Canada on your computer and look there for the codes for your local area. In the U,S. they're called S.A.M.E. codes , not sure what they're called in Canada.your radio's manual will list the phone number and the computer address for Environment Canada. you can get the information there

[@hunterporth3302]

[@davidbosley7126]

My uncle steve and my aunt Jill's house just right on the border of Grant and Kenton county got their roof hit hard by the EF4 tornado and that was quite devastating for their house plus that was Two days before my 7th birthday wow!

[@HawkinsWX]

Nothing will ever beat April, 27,2011

[@alphareborn9908]

The Hawkins EAS/ SPC Kingsport 6460 actually, 2013 of May 31st, the El Reno tornado was over 300 mph of windspeeds and the tornado was 2.6 miles wide, this is basically the move destructive tornado in the world.

[@PublicAtLarge]

To you, maybe not. Try telling that to a survivor of any other tornado. March 2, 2012 changed many lives across the Ohio Valley. Same with May 20, 2013 and May 3, 1999 where I live now in Oklahoma City and Moore. Space Doge, scientifically, you're correct though -- El Reno 5/31/13 IS the largest tornado on record. Radar data did record a wind speed well above the EF-5 rating, however because it didn't hit structures, it could not be classified as such.

[@shandanichols8037]

Even as someone who lived through April 27, 2011, I don’t think that’s fair. Yes, that day will go down in weather history, but most of the country has their own “April 27”.

[@CommandoMario]

I'm curious why the radio went off if it wasn't for your county...

[@BrianKolb71]

Reminds me when I was living in Joplin Missouri

[@SincerelyWX]

which i believe it is in the same county. no. Sparta is in Owen County.

You guys have to take in consideration that this was a very dangerous situation going on at the time. I should've kept my mouth shut yes, but I terrified for the people In that area. This storm produced an EF-4 tornado.

It was in EF4 in Grant county. in Crittenden and Piner.

[@jacobisworld9516]
