    Tornadoes North of me, South of me, but missed me and GF and DS. Storm line passed.
    We really need, as a society, to do better with tornado sirens and such. County-level granularity is insufficient in this day and age. People get so jaded that they ignore them, to their peril.

    And if you have cable TV, you get his pop-up thing that has nearly zero information other than a county list, and it stops you from going to the live station coverage that tells you what is going on. It's better than nothing, I suppose, but still. Grrrr.

    Goodnight snails. Sleep well all.
    Totally agree. I got laughed at by several people in a Nextdoor forum, suggesting we go back to using sirens when there is a tornado warning. They said we don't need that because we have cell phones that give warnings. Well, I only use my cell phone when I am out, and a lot of other folks said the same. Those sirens were super loud and had either different tones or numbers....don't recall which, but think it was tones. THAT worked for everyone, not just the people with their faces in their phones all the time.
    Glad you and loved ones are safe, Atty.

    Good morning Atty Kat and Mighty. :)

    Do they make flashing light sirens for us deaf people? :laugh:

    I’m like you Kat and rarely look at my phone, I try to remember to carry it with me when out in case of emergency.
    Actually, just as there are towers with red lights that warn medic helicopters of high wires, so could they do the same for deaf people. AND, they could use the same towers as the sirens. Win/Win! :)
