Of course, EF-ratings cannot be established until a tornado hits, but call this a TORNADO EMERGENCY for those downstream...

Warnings are flying fast and furious. Probably only a matter of time until we have a significant tornado strike in a town somewhere.

[RL3AO]

New warning issued but if those in the SW part of the next county weren't watching TV they've got about a three minute warning.

[CrazyC83]

This came WAY TOO LATE for such an extreme threat...
