NWS has included impact-based warning information for TOR and SVR in its 
text-based products for a few years. NWS considers its text products as 
the official record of alerts and warnings.

Unforunately, unless you have on-staff meteorologists and use one of the 
commercial weather software (or Apps), you probably won't get the 
impact-based codes. The impact-based coding doesn't appear to flow 
through the NWS systems to the CAP or SAME products.

Even if a station doesn't normally carry FFW, TOR or SVR; some might want 
to carry the "catastrophic" impact-based warnings.  But that currently 
requires an on-staff meterologist or commercial weather software.
