DDC Tornado Emergency Broadcast for Greensburg

[Joey Ketcham]

I was wondering, does anyone by chance have a recording of the NOAA Weather Radio Broadcast from DDC from the Greensburg tornado warning? Maybe one mentioning the tornado emergency?

You might want to PM Mike Umscheid from the DDC weather office. I bet he could get a copy of one for you. I would be interested in hearing the warning myself.

I just generated this one:

Here is the text, you can run it through the voice generator here:

Not exactly what you want but might get you close. There's a 300 character limit so you'll have to make 2 or 3 wav files and string them together.

I know Tony Cook has it playing loud and clear in his video on that night, but when Storms of 2007 is released next week, it will be part of the May 4th chapter.
