She never heard a tornado siren before?

No. We don’t have them around here.

They test them here every Wed at noon.

And they go off at least half a dozen times a year for storms.

The way I look at it is even if there is a tornado nearby what are the odds of it hitting your house?

Use to be a watch was when conditions are favorable for it, now it is called a warning.

It used to only be a warning if a tornado was sighted but that was changed to whenever the conditions are favorable. Which greatest increased the alarms.

Pyrite mica. It was a semi-popular Toyota color. My last Tacoma was that color. Almost a color changer when clean.

Ive already grown numb to most of them. Only can call wolf so many times, before it becomes white noise.
