The Federal Aviation Administration has forbidden air-traffic controllers at the Daytona Beach International Airport from listening to emergency weather band radios, which the controllers say would have alerted them to a tornado touching down nearby on Christmas Day. "We now have no way of knowing if there is any tornadic activity in the area," [said Kelly Raulerson, Daytona controller and representative for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association] Controllers are able to pick up precipitation on radar, but not tornadoes in the storms.
