NWS Quick Response Team (QRT)

A specialized team of engineers and experienced meteorologists deployed to assess tornado damage, especially when a tornado is suspected to exceed EF3 intensity (i.e., EF4 or EF5). In accordance with NWS policy, these teams include wind engineering experts to help ensure accurate ratings for high-end events. They are requested by local NWS offices through their respective regional headquarters, which include the Western Region Headquarters (WRH), Central Region Headquarters (CRH), Southern Region Headquarters (SRH), and Eastern Region Headquarters (ERH).

A regional NWS Quick Response Team (QRT) determined that this was an EF4 tornado, with a well-constructed home being swept clean from its slab and its debris broken into small pieces and carried 50 to 200 yards.

Real Quick

an interjection that's used when you are absolutely NOT going to be quick. Used to sneak into conversations by fooling people into believing that you will be quick even though you are going to be anything but.

Person 1: the other day I was walki-

Person 2: hey, real quick, last night I went out to dinner and had the best burger I've ever eaten. It reminded me of when I was a little boy and my pop used to grill them for us. Every 4th of July we would get together and have a big barbecue for the neighborhood and they called me and my pop the burger bros. He taught me 2 things in life: burgers, and auto parts. I took this knowledge with me when I opened up my first business: Burgers & Bearings. It was a very successful burger restaurant/auto parts store until the health inspector deemed it a 'health risk' due to a little bit of grease on the food. I mean come on, a little bit of dirt never hurt anybody. But he disagreed, so I took my talents to Tinker. Back when I was at Tinker I had the world in the palm of my hands. Everybody on the block knew that when I was around, shit was getting DONE. Every auto parts store within a 1,000 mile radius knew to look out for me. So I used that popularity to spread my wings and become a master mixologist in a very busy bar in the Hamptons, where I made around $20,000 per night.

Person 3: yeah he left 10 minutes ago, you don't have to keep goi-

Person 2: hey, while I got you here, real quick........
