Anyone else under a tornado watch?
 

oz here I come

Tornadoes? *perk perk perk*

Where are you?

Nebraska

people say to turn off computers during a storm, but I never do.. should I?

Tornado Warning for Sioux Falls South Dakota until 515 CDT


Nebraska....ouch, there's a few watches out there. This stuff is all heading for Tennessee, but will probably weaken by the time it gets here. Dammit. :(

I usually don't turn my stuff off in a storm because it's one of the ways I track the storms.

I bet "Twister" is one of your favorite movies?

you got some photos ?:)

nothing ever happens luckily... I've been through a lot of these

closest I've been is about .25 miles away from one hitting

Actualy, no. It's rather Hollywoodish, as opposed to what really goes on out there.

woah :glugglug

oooo, nice. :thumbsup

its getting pretty windy here in lincoln

Looking at the local radar there from the national weather service, it looks like you're getting most straight line winds. Lincoln looks free of anything major right now. :)

Tornado Warning for Twin Cities MN until 600 pm CDT

Wow. You don't get many tornado warnings in Minnesota.

Mojo, if you're near Laurel, get off the computer, find a safe place on the lowest level of your home or in a basement somewhere.

Tornado Warning for Cedar County, NE until 615 pm CDT.

I'm thinking about you, man. Be safe. :(

thanks... but it looks like it's moving NE out of the area

I dont think we have tornadoes in Vegas but if I were you I would unplug your computers.

Kinda sad, but tornado warnings don't even phase most people in the Southeast/Gulf region, anymore. It happens so much, no one really gets too freaked out or worried. Our local weather team actually came up with a new term called "tornado emergency".

We get warnings so often and rarely see any real problems or damage, so now when they say "tornado emergency" that means there is actually one on the ground, tearing shit up somewhere. :1orglaugh

It's getting nasty out your way.

Tornado Warning for Wayne County NE until 620pm CDT.

Where are you, Mojo? I'm worrying over here. :(

Minnesota gets TONS of tornado warnings.

My bad. How may do you get on average?

No idea but enough.

Wisconsin just got a new one.

Redwood and Brown counties in MN just got 'em too.

When we have them, I just stick close to my Born in Xenia Ohio old man that survived a bad one before age 1 and several others before they moved from there... :winkwink:

Hmmm some day I'll have to hunt out the pics of the softball sized hail his sister took from his first tornado, with her lil B&W Brownie camera, and scan them. No funnel pics since they were under the upturned couch.

Coolies, Gemini.

One of these days, I'll move out of Tennessee and into tornado country. (yes, TN gets a lot of 'nados, but I want more, dammit)
