Title: HD Warning Crawl?
Post by: Trevor on May 15, 2010, 09:59:13 PM
Does anyone know if the national warning crawl, like when there was a hurricane or Tropical Storm, will scroll on HD, just like SD? Would it be the same, would it be diffrent, or will it not scroll at all?

Thanks for your help

No. Any warning crawl you see on your screen on the SD feed is generated by a STAR. There are two options regarding warning crawls on HD (neither have materialized yet): The HD STAR, or a crawl originating from the control room in Atlanta (like the national SD LDL or HD LDL/LDA).

Yup, I can confirm this now. Let's just say it can happen any time in the not too far future

I'm 27 years old.  Will I be collecting my pension before it's released?  :rofl2:

Sorry... I just couldn't help myself!  :dance:

There's a Severe Weather Map on it, though. I noticed it a few days ago and recorded it yesterday:
