Tornado rips through town - GIF

I didn’t know what EWS meant, so googled it, and kept getting “news now” featuring yer beloved ex-president!

Googling or Binging or Yahooing, or whichever your favorite search engine will always yield a wide range of possibilities never even remotely related to the subject you are in need of inquiring about. In this case the EWS stands for Early Warning Services, it can also stand for Early Warning Systems which would be the nuts and bolts hardware used by the services. Unfortunately, the Acronymization of so many things have become one of the banes of society's confusion.
