Sample PDS Tornado Warning
PDS Tornado Warnings are issued by NWS offices serving Kansas and Missouri, usually when a tornado on the ground has been spotted or when a significant tornado is expected. This is currently experimental and is on a testing basis. One of the first PDS tornado warnings, if not the first, was issued on April 14, 2012 by the National Weather Service in Wichita, Kansas.

Famous quotes containing the words sample, tornado and/or warning:
“All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it—an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.”
—Peter Conrad (b. 1948)
“The sumptuous age of stars and images is reduced to a few artificial tornado effects, pathetic fake buildings, and childish tricks which the crowd pretends to be taken in by to avoid feeling too disappointed. Ghost towns, ghost people. The whole place has the same air of obsolescence about it as Sunset or Hollywood Boulevard.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“By day thy warning ringing bell to sound its notes,
By night thy silent signal lamps to swing.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
