I don't know about that last line... If I've got a confirmed tornado on the
ground, I'm going to make sure the EMA (in Lucas County the sheriff's
office) gets that information first so the siren can be sounded, then to NWS
(not that there is much time difference, but I'm not going to wait for
Cleveland to say, "Yep that's a tornado" before requesting the button to be
hit...)
