2. Stay safe, please.
I've been watching the reports with much trepidation and concern for the people in the path of Dennis.

6. I don't even blink about tornado watches anymore.
My town is like a vacuum-we suck in tornadoes pretty fast.
Besides, it just means that conditions are right to possibly form a tornado in a certain time frame. Rarely do tornadoes actually come during a watch (ask your friends in MO,KS, OK-they'll tell you the same thing).

7. I lived in Indianapolis for 8 years
I know all about warnings and watches.

In the south tho (I'm in Atlanta now), it's a different story.

9. You guys don't get it as much down there, do you?
I'm just so used to it that I don't even worry anymore.
Of course, w/ Dennis on the warpath you have a decent chance of something stirring up.

We should be getting our chances here around midweek, thanks to Dennis (per the five day report). We've got the leftover crap from it moving up and it looks like something trying to move in from the West at the same time.
