Talk:Particularly dangerous situation

PDS Watch Example Replacements
Although it may not be crucial, considering the examples ought to be ones where something extreme actually occured, I think the PDS Severe Thunderstorm Watch should be: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/2009/ww0266.html and the PDS Tornado Watch should definitely be: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/ww0235.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.160.123 (talk • contribs) 00:03, 1 May 2011

Example Links
I personally don't think that linking in the examples are necessary. Examples of NWS alerts on other pages don't include links, and I believe it distracts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terinjokes (talk • contribs) 19:26, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Particularly dangerous situation → Particularly Dangerous Situation – Particularly Dangerous Situation has always been capitalized by the National Weather Service, and has, it seems, been used by the NWS alone, meaning that there are no situations where the issue of capitalization varies. Here is one example from a page I recently visited: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/2013/ww0262.html. This is the most common, as well as the official usage of the term, which is another reason for which this move should be executed, as stated in the policy WP:TITLE and in the essay WP:OFFICIAL. There are, I believe, other examples included in the references at the page Particularly dangerous situation. I couldn't move the page because there is a redirect at Particularly Dangerous Situation. This redirect had a second edit by a bot, and so I cannot execute this move myself. I do not think that this issue should be very controversial. Dustin  talk  15:44, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong support. Not capitalizing here is disingenuous at worst but mostly just wrong. We're not talking about "particularly dangerous situations" but rather a specific alert from the NWS. Red Slash 03:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

PDS Flash Flood Warning
During the severe rain event of 4/17/16-4/18/16, National Weather Service WFO Houston issued several flash flood emergencies, several which included the "This is a particularly dangerous situation" verbiage. I don't recall ever seeing this before, and searching for the phrase "this is a flash flood emergency. this is a particularly dangerous situation" on Google returned nothing other than this event. Is it worthwhile to add this as its own section in the article? Here is a link to one such warning: http://kamala.cod.edu/offs/KHGX/1604181130.wgus54.html Angiest (talk) 17:23, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * All Flash Flood Emergencies carry the phrase “this is a particularly dangerous situation” 2601:5C5:4201:68B0:2868:6157:97AA:EFA3 (talk) 03:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Linking/Coloring
Is the linking and coloring really necessary? The NWS never colors the PDS part, and its supposed be PDS in the first place, so that's unnecessary. The linking is unnecessary too, as it distracts and takes away from the example. DerpieDerpie D 16:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

PDS Tornado Warning
Is it possible if we switch the warning to a recent ef4 like winterset? just a question cause i don't wanna change it and get reverted Lolkikmoddi (talk) 18:05, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

New PDS warning phrases MIGHT be coming
The NWS just released a public information statement soliciting comments about a proposed change that would add PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) wording to Blizzard Warnings and Ice Storm Warnings. 2601:5C5:4201:BEC0:2DF2:D6CF:1C92:C97E (talk) 22:49, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
