[EAS] concerning the request for new weather Event Codes

[Dave Kline]

We don't carry the Thunderstorm warnings. Too many alerts are generated from the same storm as it passes through each of the counties in our local area. Besides, people who live around these parts, in spite of what the government may think, know when we are having a storm and don't need much in the way of hand holding.
We just stick to the immediate, life and property threats like TORs, FFWs, CAEs to name but a few. And with the exception of the SVR/SVA we carry all of the warning alerts recommended in our local area plan.

"The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Warning for (list of affected counties). Please take cover immediately."
-repeat-
