Summary
In this episode the Debris Ballers take a close look at the Tornado Emergency. The Tornado Emergency was first used in 1999 by the NWS office in Norman when devastating tornadoes struck central OK. It took 17 more years before the Tornado Emergency became an official NWS product and we'll share the story of that journey. We'll also discuss a recent tornado in Nebraska where a Tornado Emergency was issued and no tornado occurred.
