My weather radio alarm just went off. Says we are under a tornado watch.

Is this Sumter, Marion, or Lake County? Or all of them? Or some? :dontknow:

[KathieI]

Mine too, Hope, wanna come over and hold my hand??? I'm skeered!

Tal, don't know but does it really matter? I guess not like earthquakes that are wide spread. I guess no DDRR today, huh.

NOAA site says Sumter and Marion

I am at attention...Just got back to TV..Heard the watch till 11pm..OMG

A tornado "watch" means that conditions exist for the possible development of a tornado.

A tornado "warning" means go to cover - now.

There is a difference in the two. Where I live, we get a little too jaded over the tornado "watch" warnings. It means to stay aware.

a green sky? hail? debris ahead of the storm? -These may be signs that a tornado is coming. We have had a couple of them in our area over the years, and we have had to head for cover, but we have never heard one on its path. They say it sounds like a train.

If you are not familiar with tornadoes, you may want to Google around a bit and learn more about what to watch out for and what to do.

Donna,

I guess TV has its bad weather too Donna. Sorry you had to come back to this!!!

Tony, are we under a warning or a watch at this time????

[Boomer]

Tal,

I always think of you as our resident librarian and I see you are on here. Is there a really good site to link people to so they can learn about tornadoes? Knowledge is power.

Thanks.

Don't panic. Chances are the warnings will come and go with nothing happening.

Hope, I'm already in a state of panic but I'm praying your right.

You are still under tornado watches. Non have been observed on the ground.

Oh Muncle,
Thank you for helping me try to help these people. - love the white horse.

Hope2b, Please do not say "warning" if it is just a "watch" - really - poor Kathie is already in the closet. I am wondering if she has pulled her mattress over on top of herself. Hang in there, Kathie.

Tony, Tony, Tony,
County lines? C'mon. Throw 'em a rope willya?
