1. Where was it spotted?

[tx_dem41]

2. Hi Grannie....

this morning on The Weather Channel, they were saying your area (specifically Mobile to Tallahassee) would be a hot spot for severe storm activity today. Be careful!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

3. Grannie, please tell me you have a root cellar!

I don't think they have spotted any yet, but a cold front is moving in on that warm air.

Or I'm going to be worrying about you all day!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

4. Nope

this house is built on a slab, flat as a pancake. It's into the bedroom closet with two babies and two dogs, if the siren goes off!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. Oh crap!

No neighbors w/ basements or schools nearby?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

9. No, not a basement in town

water table is too high.

But our tornadoes tend to come down from the sky and pop right back up. They usually don't travel long distances. And I live in a hilly, wooded area, with little cleared spaces. So I just keep on the local TV station. I've hit the closet before and can do it again. One time a tornado went right over the house but didn't touch down.

6. These came through St. Louis this morning

5:30am woken up by the Tornado Sirens. It was 67 degrees in the predawn hours and we had a Tornado Warning on January 2nd! Yah, nothing screwy with the weather, nothing to see here. *smacks her forehead*

[Viva_La_Revolution]

7. Looks like it covers most from Great lakes to deep South!

add in California, and the fires in OK and TX, tropical storm ZETA...

nope nothing weird about this in JANUARY!!!!

[Benhurst]

8. Winter wonderland, global warming style. NT

[mom cat]

11. No global warming here. Nothing to see. Move right along!

[ewagner]

10. Just looked at

The storm prediction center's data maps...lotta lift in the atmosphere so the potential IS very, high.

Be safe Granny and keep an eye on the local TV station.
