In this case time is of much importance to those who live in that area. I said it was a warning as did the news caster. Tornado storms are very unpredictable and where we live here in Queens at least, we had a tornado right down the side road I live near right now. It came out of high winds and these storms they are talking about at channel 7. The tornado that went down my street, came out of no where, with no warning.

Having lived in Tornado ally, a warning is a warning. Period. you get your suvival kit ready and pack it down where you will stay safe. I lived the experience.

Thanks for your comments though, I wanted people to be prepared not challenged on tornado knowledge. Sorry if that is not your agenda.

My agenda was just to express my curiosity on the reports of a tornado warning when the weather definition of a warning is a touched down tornado and a watch is when storms capable of producing tornados are forming. Your agenda was to warn. Nothing wrong with that.

The weather for that day indicates:

At 5:19 p.m., National Weather Service radar continued to indicate a severe thunderstorm capable of creating a tornado.
The tornado was located near Hackettstown and moving southeast at 25 mph. The storm will be near Budd Lake by 5:30, near Long Valley by 5:35, and six miles southwest of Succasunna by 5:40.


So if there was a tornado touching down, then a warning is what it would be called. If it was just a storm capable of creating tornados, technically that is a warning - at least in the tornado belt, other parts of the country may erroneously or preemptively decide to call it a warning, I would assume so people take the necessary precautions. In any case, I wasn't arguing with you, just typing what I was thinking and replying to your thread.

And here are some people in the area commenting on the storm in real time and after the fact. Maybe there was a tornado touch down, but thankfully not a deadly one.
