Blandest Tornado Warning Ever!

[WindRunner]

For the northern suburbs of Tampa . . . these people probably could use some instructions on what to do! And it's not all that great of a radar presentation either, so I guess someone must have been in a hurry or something, because this is definately the shortest, blandest, and most nonchalant warning I have ever seen!

I don't really see why it has to be long. There is some weak rotation, and in a strong helicity environment over a populated area, I guess they acted quickly to be on the safe side.

I guess so, still, they can usually click a few buttons in WARNGEN to get a few extra messages out to the people about the situation. Just hadn't ever seen one quite so empty, I guess.
