[EAS] 9-1-1 Outages From Derecho/Windstorm

[Mike McCarthy]

FYI...for those who might be interested in this particular event and where a similar exposure may exist in their locations. Derechos at their beginning are very difficult to forecast and warn. There is no warning messages beyond a SVR for a non-tornadic event. But the damage sustained extreme cases can approximate that of a series of broad long track EF1 or even EF2 tornados depending on conditions present at any given location.

I cite the entire text from Skip's message with specific intent.
