Late-July Tuesday evening severe thunderstorm nearest-building shelter

To check this alert, Claude Opus 5.5 (an AI) read it in full 25 separate times, independently. Each read decided whether the message answers each of the six questions and gave a short reason. A final reviewer then weighed all 25 and wrote the plain-English verdict you see when you open a row. The score (for example 22/25) is how many reads agreed; the 25 individual reads are tucked underneath if you want to check them.

• Sourceabsent1/25

  Final assessment

  Source is absent by 24 to 1: Florida State University is named only as the warned location, with no alert brand or issuing office. One read counted the university name as self identification.

  Who is sending the alert and who is responding. People act faster on a message from a clearly identifiable, credible sender, such as a named department, the police, or a branded alert system, than on an anonymous notice. A branded signature counts.

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: "A severe thunderstorm warning" names a specific weather hazard.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  All 25 reads agree the location is "the main campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee".

  Where the threat is. Saying whether danger is in a specific building, a part of campus, or area-wide lets people judge their own proximity and choose a safe direction. Without a where, a warning is hard to act on precisely.

• Guidancepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: "Seek shelter immediately in the nearest building, away from doors and windows" is a clear protective instruction.

  The protective action to take. A clear, specific instruction, such as shelter in place, evacuate, avoid the area, or run-hide-fight, drives faster and more correct protective behavior than describing the threat alone.

• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  Unanimous: impact is absent. It names the severe thunderstorm but states no consequence such as damaging winds, lightning, or injury.

  What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
