EAS #11, TOR, 4/29/14
Channel: KHB37listener
Date: 06/05/2014

This is an activation of the Emergency Alert System as heard on KHB37, the NOAA Weather Radio transmitter serving most of Hampton Roads and part of northeastern North Carolina. This activation was part of a severe weather outbreak coinciding with the passage of a frontal boundary through the region.

I had lead time for this alert, thanks to IEM and their bot. Unfortunately, I forgot to turn on alerting on the WR-300, so only the HH54 sounds here. They both received the warning, though.

The complete warning text is reproduced below.
