Remember too that a warning means that a tornado has been spotted in the area, while a watch-- as Happinow reported-- just means that conditions are conducive to the possible spawning of a tornado.
Thank you on the correction. I meant watch which is what we are under. Sorry for my error. Warnings are more serious and that means one has been spotted or touched down.

How can I say not to worry when tornadoes do happen, but not as often as watches are in effect, thank heavens.
It doesn't help when television reception goes in and out and there are tornado warnings and new people aren't familiar with the surrounding counties yet.

Hugs to all. I am sure we will all be here in the morning.

Water is coming in around the foundation in front bedroom. Rug is soaked.

Checking to see if we brought the ark building kit.

Don't worry.
