This should be a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM EMERGENCY right here

[@Ninten7958rblx]

so true

[@Jacobthehighwayfan]

Wow a PDS severe thunderstorm warning

[@OfficialGH98]

Nice catch! That was INSANE! EDIT: I consider an SVR with 100 MPH wind gusts a “Severe Thunderstorm Emergency”, AKA SVR-E.

[@eastmelbournewx]

Yeah! and tbh, SVR-E’s should exist, especially in situations like this

[@craigceecee8762]

@@eastmelbournewx They should change it to an Extreme Wind Warning, like they do for a hurricane eyewall, if winds are 100 mph or greater.

[@BitzerDogTaylorsVersion13]

@@craigceecee8762 well considering there was also a hail threat, they couldn't do that.

[@deletemepls-s2l]

@@eastmelbournewxthere’s only been ONE SVR-E ever issued! And it’s for Scottsbluff, NE.

[@tiredaf81]

0:45 Wow! That's almost enough to issue an EXTREME WIND WARNING!

[@scratchpad7954]

I agree. However, extreme wind warnings are generally issued for landfalling major hurricanes (Category 3+) in coastal counties/areas, where wind speeds in the landfalling eyewall reach >115 miles per hour.

Yeah, I got this because AMA is my office and I just was like WHAT?!!?!?

LUB is my office!

@@EthanTSC The callsign is actually LUB.

​@@wsdgpwx.stormchasersAh thank you, not sure how I made that mistake

[@tyronesfireworksstudioshow7560]

Damn that’s like a major hurricane 0:45

[@CXPEAS05]

I in my life never seen 100mph wind gusts in Amarillo that was the most powerful Derecho I’ve ever seen I normally would call this a PDS SVR

[@jonathanschlack7210]

Awesome catch. Holy smokes. Those are extremely high winds.

[@progenitor_amborella]

I have (I think) seen one SVR-E, which may have been for massive hail from a specific office, once. Also, I went through the 2020 Midwest derecho in East-Central Iowa, oddly enough there is no PDS SVR, instead they’re a “Very Dangerous Situation”.

[@Madpilot80198]

Holy smokes

[@officer432]

Why isn’t this a tornado warning or a tornado emergency?

[@spcraleigheas]

because theres not a life threating tornado in a populated area dingus

[@abelieverofjesuschrist]

why it sound like someone slowed down the voice
