Quote Historyprobably not but I have never seen three such tests back to back that started out as warnings before they were announced as tests. Also the timing is interesting to say the least. |

Quoted:
just as Netanyahu walked onto the floor of the House there were two on the cable system (comcast) back to back, practice tornado warnings. Thing is that both cable warnings just started out appearing to be warnings, it wasn't until about 15, 20 seconds into the warning was it announced as a drill. Gee, as I'm typing a third one just happened. This is the only time I have seen this happen..........interesting. Anyone else in the collar county area outside of Chicago notice this happening? The first Tuesday in March, every year, is the test of ALL the tornado alert systems. Outdoor warning sirens, NOAA WX alerts, and cable alerts. If you've been paying attention, you'd have known this. Remove the tinfoil. If you're from Northern IL, follow Danny Neal on Facebook. "People... listen. Yes the sirens go off the first Tuesday of every month... HOWEVER.... this is the only month that a test tornado warning is issued. This is the only month that it alerts your weather radio, television, cell phone as I said. You can't rely on only sirens. You need to have three different ways to receive warnings." Or the National Weather Service - Chicago Facebook page 
Seriously. They've been talking about this all week. |

Hmmm...all I noticed was the typical long wail. Maybe I missed the others? I'm in Wilmington. I slept through the one when we had the November 2013 tornado that made it's way through Diamond and partially tipped down into the Northwest part of town here.

Because, if you'd have been paying attention, the first Tuesday in MARCH (and ONLY MARCH), is the ONLY time of the year that the tornado warning tests get played over all broadcast methods. If you haven't had the TV on at 10 a.m. on the first Tuesday of March in 2014, 2013, 2012, etc. you would have never heard it before. It's normal. Calm thyself. |
