There's a tornado warning in my area.

[live love laugh]

Instructions are to take cover away from windows preferably in a basement to avoid flying debri, hale and lightning.

I choose to proceed with my back yard barbecue instead.

Nobody is going to take away my freeDUMB.

12. I think all these fucking deep states should stop both the hurricane and tornado warnings

Let nature cull the herd - let the market rule - to hell with society.

14. Stay safe. If you see one: report it.

There was a tornado warning in Ottawa-Gatineau last year. I was having dinner at my dad's. My cell phone warning went off. I looked out the window and saw a tornado miles away. I took a picture of it. Pointed it out to everyone.

Turns out the tornado warning came from Gatineau. Someone saw a funnel cloud descending there. I was near Gatineau but in ottawa. The Tornado i was looking at was miles away in Orleans on the ottawa side. They did not get the warning and, because i just assumed they were being warned, i did not call 911 to report it. And the people of Orleans did not get a warning. I felt bad about that when i realized the role i could have played. I didn't think anyone died but if you see one descending or on the ground: call.

15. The warning's now a watch but I made a mental note

of your good advice for future reference.

18. One Here About 15 Miles North

Around 3pm.
Didn't even rain here.
Then 90 minutes later it poured. Sun can out. Rained again. Now sun is out.
Been a rollercoaster for the last 4 hours!

19. Stay safe. If you see one: report it.

20. Even Though Were A Small Town...

...of around 6k, there are actually 6 trained spotters living here.
2 are EMTs with the FD.
I'm guessing these weather heads will report it long before I'd even see it.
These guys are way into weather & storms.
One actually takes a week of vacation time to volunteer in OJ and KS to chase and do research on tornadoes.
That's commitment.
BTW: weather pros in Chicago think we're done with severe weather for the night. I think we'll be OK!

[applegrove]

21. Okay. We are not that familiar with tornados here in ottawa. Good that

22. Not Me

My phone alert goes off and it's me, wife & pets into the basement rec room! Boom, no hesitating!
I'm not going out looking for the tornado!
I rely on the trained experts!
