Alright, here's the answer to the trivia question from Wednesday/Thursday.

Continuing with weather theme here. As mentioned on a few of these questions, the National Weather Service uses the 'Tornado Emergency' Tornado Warning when there are severe enough tornadoes to warrant it. What was the first tornado to be given the 'Tornado Emergency' tag?

Answer: C. The first usage of the tornado emergency tag was on the fly, used to describe how dangerous the Bridge Creek-Moore F5 was. It was one of the most powerful tornadoes to ever be observed, and invented a whole new type of warning when it comes to tornadoes.
