I hate when the local weather guy says be prepared to go to your safe place.

Posted by CovingtonCat Mar 8 '09, 15:10

We're under a tornado watch. There are warnings about 20 miles northwest. Everything's off the back porch (we're expecting high winds all night now, too) and we're poised in front of the TV and listening for the sirens to go off (they're going off across the river in Cincy - we can hear them from here). In 2 1/2 years here we only once went to the safe place (laundry room in the middle of the apt with no exterior walls). It's difficult seiving out the hype from the possibility. Stressful.

I also hate it when he says "cyclonic rotation". Kinda sounds dirty. -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 8, 15:51
Did you even watch Twister? What you need to do is sink some iron bars deep into the ground, then tie you and your loved ones to them. - Loyola Mar 8, 15:14 16
- Also if it's dark and cloudy you are safe. But if it there isn't a single cloud in the sky, that's when the tornado comes. -- nm - Redmond Mar 8, 15:23 12
  - I keep tellin' ya tornados do drop out of freakin' nowhere sometimes. -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 15:30 7
    - We've been expecting the storm north of us to be the problem but we just went to Warning from a cell southwest of us. - CovingtonCat Mar 8, 15:49 6
      - They predict tornados using roation detection in radar now which causes more warnings to be issued without actual tornado sightings. - Qale Mar 8, 15:58 5
        
        Report of a touchdown in Indiana and sightings of some funnels as the storm crossed the Ohio into KY but nothing else touching down. - CovingtonCat Mar 8, 16:03 4

        Imagine the look on the faces of the rescuers when they dig you out of the debris. -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 8, 16:20
  - Also, when the tornado hits, don't bother to go check on your aunt to make sure she's ok. - Loyola Mar 8, 15:29 3
    - They *did* go back to Wachita after the F4 hit! -- nm - Qale Mar 8, 15:31 2
      - Yeah but what was the point. The director could have just told them she got it in the neck and saved them the trip. - Loyola Mar 8, 15:33 1
        
        Looks like I need to work on that How Well Do You Know Twister quiz sooner rather than later. :P - Qale Mar 8, 15:39

  - *laughing* love that film -- nm - Loyola Mar 8, 15:21
- Fortunately there are no cows nearby. Just assorted neighborhood cats and dogs. -- nm - CovingtonCat Mar 8, 15:15
