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:
“As a rule they will refuse even to sample a foreign dish, they regard such things as garlic and olive oil with disgust, life is unliveable to them unless they have tea and puddings.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“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)
“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man. And all the time in the background of our consciousness rings the warning that perhaps the right man will never come. A great love is given to very few. Perhaps this make-shift time filler of a job is our life work after all.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
