Seek-shelter notice for a Sangamon County thunderstorm warning

To check this alert, SuperGrok Heavy 4.5 (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.

  Final assessment

  Seek shelter now is an explicit protective-action order.

  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

  Severe weather / Severe Thunderstorm Warning names the hazard.

  What the threat actually is. A complete warning names the specific danger, such as a shooter, a fire, a tornado, or a gas leak, rather than a vague emergency, because people decide what to do based on what they are facing.

  See all 25 individual reads

  8. present: A storm/thunderstorm threat is named, so H is present.

• Locationpresent25/25

  Final assessment

  UIS and Sangamon County locate the product.

  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.

  See all 25 individual reads

  1. present: UIS is named as the place the weather is approaching, and Sangamon County is the warning polygon.
  2. present: Location is present: campus (UIS) plus county (Sangamon).

• Guidanceabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  No additional how-to beyond the shelter imperative already coded as S.

  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.

  See all 25 individual reads

  1. absent: No extra how-to (lowest floor, interior room, away from windows) beyond seek shelter.
  2. absent: Guidance beyond the shelter imperative is absent; seek shelter is coded on S, not G.
  3. absent: G is off: there is no secondary instruction set after Seek shelter now.
  4. absent: The message does not explain how or where to shelter inside a building.
  5. absent: No avoid-area, evacuate, or detailed protective steps appear.
  6. absent: G=0 because the only action is the shelter command already counted as S.
  7. absent: Further guidance (routes, buildings, check-in) is not in the body.
  8. absent: A one-line shelter order without extra steps fails the G element.
  9. absent: No stay-away-from-windows or basement language is present.
  10. absent: Guidance element requires more than the shelter verb; that extra is missing.
  11. absent: The NWS sentence is hazard/time/place, not additional protective how-to.
  12. absent: I do not double-count Seek shelter now as both S and G.
  13. absent: G absent: no operational extras like classes canceled or roads to avoid.
  14. absent: The text stops at seek shelter; it does not coach the sheltering method.
  15. absent: No multi-step guidance appears after the shelter line.
  16. absent: G is not present when the only instruction is the shelter imperative.
  17. absent: Unlike products that add go to lowest level, this one has no such clause.
  18. absent: Secondary guidance is not written; G stays off.
  19. absent: I mark G absent for lack of any instruction besides seek shelter.
  20. absent: No building-level or movement details are given.
  21. absent: The alert does not tell people what to do after they seek shelter.
  22. absent: G=0: no extra protective or operational guidance layer.
  23. absent: A bare seek-shelter plus NWS citation is not additional guidance.
  24. absent: Guidance coding stays false without a second distinct instruction.
  25. absent: Nothing in the body beyond shelter, hazard, place, and time.
• Timepresent25/25

  Final assessment

  Until 2:00 PM is an explicit warning end time.

  When the message applies. A timestamp, the word now or immediately, or a phrase like until further notice tells the reader whether the danger is current and how quickly to act.

  See all 25 individual reads

  1. present: Until 2:00 PM is an explicit expiration clock for the warning.
  2. present: Time is present via the 2:00 PM bound on the thunderstorm warning.
  3. present: T=1 because the NWS product is given an until-time.
  4. present: The warning window ends at 2:00 PM, which is a temporal bound.
  5. present: A clock time (2:00 PM) appears in the transmitted text.
  6. present: T hits on until 2:00 PM rather than an open-ended watch.
  7. present: The duration/end of the hazard is stated as 2:00 PM.
  8. present: Time element is satisfied by a specific hour on the clock.
  9. present: Until 2:00 PM tells recipients how long the warning lasts.
  10. present: A present T vote follows from the named end time.
  11. present: The product is time-bounded, not just now without an until.
  12. present: 2:00 PM is the temporal datum in the last sentence.
  13. present: T present: warning valid until a stated clock time.
  14. present: The NWS clause includes an until-time, which is T.
  15. present: I code time present solely from until 2:00 PM.
  16. present: A clock-hour bound is in the official warning restatement.
  17. present: Temporal specificity is 2:00 PM, sufficient for T.
  18. present: The message tells people the warning lasts until 2:00 PM.
  19. present: T=1: until 2:00 PM is not ambiguous relative time like soon.
  20. present: An absolute clock time is printed, so time is present.
  21. present: The warning's end is dated to 2:00 PM in the body.
  22. present: Time coding turns on the until 2:00 PM phrase.
  23. present: Recipients know the protective window through 2:00 PM.
  24. present: T is on because a clock deadline is written out.
  25. present: No inference of duration is needed; 2:00 PM is stated.
• Impactabsent0/25

  Final assessment

  No crime/suspect/identity payload; weather is the hazard element.

  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.

  See all 25 individual reads

  1. absent: No crime, suspect, or named incident identity beyond the weather product.
  2. absent: I is off: a thunderstorm warning is the hazard, not an identity element.
  3. absent: There is no person, building incident, or crime to identify.
  4. absent: Identity/incident-specifics (suspect, victim, case number) are absent.
  5. absent: I=0 because NWS SVR is not an identity-bearing incident description.
  6. absent: The alert does not name a unique criminal or fire event.
  7. absent: No who/what identity beyond the generic weather warning type.
  8. absent: I stays false on a meteorological relay without a discrete named incident.

  19. absent: The message lacks identity details such as names or descriptions of people.
  20. absent: No discrete non-weather incident is identified.
  21. absent: I is not present in a county thunderstorm warning restatement.
  22. absent: Absent identity: no who besides NWS as the issuing agency.
  23. absent: Issuing agency (NWS) is not an incident-identity element.
