An EF1 isn't going to cause catastrophic damage to the structure of a building or lift vehicles, and it seems most would use general caution and intuition when it comes to being in a svt tstorm - go indoors, stay away from windows, etc.<br /><br />At that point, it's more semantics than anything, and your advice to heed svr warnings and find a safe place is certainly wise. <br /><br />As you mentioned, bowing lines aren't going to cause monster tornadoes that are a major threat to life and property, and QLCS' routinely produce straight line winds equal to a small spin-up. <br /><br />I'd leave the policy alone as it works well as is. Last thing we need is for public to pay less attention when there's a legit widespread tornado threat, and additional false alarms caused by radar indication might make that more of an issue than it already is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095709393884268330.post-59552068001418519782013-06-05T08:56:05.378-05:002013-06-05T08:56:05.378-05:00Thank you Dan!
