Damn, that weather radar don't lie!

If I may add my 2 cents... don't use that weather.com info. It'* not always up to date. Use NOAA instead. NOAA receives info straight from the field. Does the weather channel have an 800 # that Skywarn personnel such as I can call in to report hail, or adverse weather? Nope. Do they have a budget that comes straight from the government or do they have to rely on consumers through commercials? I think I would rather go through NOAA.

Let'* compare...

NOAA was 3 minutes ahead of Weather.com. That'* 3 minutes you get to wager with your life.

i live in tornado alley. grew up here. heres my seasoned advice: ignore it. or, go watch it. thats what we do

laugh at the mother nature'* folley in thinking that she can harm you - a human.

thanks mike but if i was really wondering if i should be taking cover, the 3 min wouldnt really be mattering... id just make sure my baby is in the garage

yea, I hear ya!

where'* the pics?

That'* sunny. Alarms go off when I go to Taco Bell, too..

I'm glad we're finally getting some rain, except now I have nowhere dry to smoke at home. We didn't get any severe weather, just tons of rain and some flooded roads.

Sirens usaully go off when I LEAVE a place....

Any way, how'd you make out through it last night? Any cool pics?

I don't like tornado'*!!! I grew up in Chicago and had one come right down our street destroying many homes but it spared our house. Ever since then I get nervous when the weather starts getting weird. About 6 years ago I was in my toyota pickup when straight line winds hit Starkville, MS and did a lot of damage. I had a hard time trying to manuever around flying debris to get to safety.
