This game is really fun. You issue warnings based on radar, and some reports. It lasts about 10 minutes, it's a lot of fun. My tornado lead time is 5 minutes, and 8 minutes for my thunderstorm warnings.

You have to wait for the Java Applet to fully load. It might take a minute.

The amount of time between the issuance of the warning and the actual tornado/hail/wind. The longer the better.
That game is awesome.

My severe thunderstorm warnings need to be worked on.

OH cxrap I'm gonna have to do it again if it changes the scenario each time. My first time I had 4 minute lead time on Tornados. I issued 14 warnings and only 6 of them verified
but the other storms had impressive hooks so I figured better safe than sorry. I issued 19 svr warnings and 14 verified...in short I sucked
