It was pointed out to me above that the 2.5 hour figure is spurious. (Cliff Mass apparently didn’t account for the fact that time stamps on tweets display the time of the tweet in the reader’s local time zone, not in the OP’s—or OT’s in this case.) So, NWS Paducah tweeted that alert at 9:03 CST, effectively contemporaneous with their issuance of the PDS warning. Still a pretty good lead time for a TOR warning, but nothing like hours of notice. In any case, I stand corrected on that.
