Here it usually scrolls along the bottom of the screen, but if it's for your county, on ours anyway, a green screen comes up and says "Severe Thunderstorm Warning" or "Tornado Warning" and then tells you to tune into whatever channel for more info.
Yea that's apparently what happens 99% of the time according to my parents. This ended the show I was watching and sounded like a vlogger who talked while a Spanish translation scrolled across a black screen
That sounds like NOAA weather radio. We get that too, but you have to tune into a certain channel.
It also cuts into the radio.
I remember a few summers ago I was working at Target and a large line of thunderstorms that had formed the night before in western North Dakota had stayed intact and was headed for us. As the storm was coming in, we were all watching by the doors and we could see debris floating through the air even though it was completely calm outside. Not 30 seconds later the tornado sirens (which were right outside the door) started blaring... everybody had to get inside and huddle in the middle of the building... there were distraught children and people running in from the parking lot.. and the power went out.
Luckily there wasn't very much damage right there, but there was a tornado touchdown about 5 miles west of town. Still, the winds got to about 60mph, which when combined with downdrafts and stuff can do a lot of damage.
