All the local tv stations will broadcast continually when we have tornado warnings. The reports stay on because the storms move and other areas in their viewing area are in the zone for the storm as it moves, usually towards the Atlantic.

It's frightening to be alone when that weather radio goes off, but I'd rather know what's happening than to be taken by surprise and be injured or worse. I put tv on because the weather people are VERY SPECIFIC about where and when with these unpredictable storms. As VP said, it's better to be afraid than to be in the line of fire.

There was some damage in Lake County, there's a report on the news right now. The woman being interviewed is telling about a tree that has damaged her house....roof very damaged and rain is just pouring in.
