Thanks! That is great info! I have a weather radio. Being that I am on the western edge of my county, I have it set also for the two counties northwest and southwest of me (where the bad weather comes from) so I have more advanced warning. I worry when I hear a bad storm in the middle of the night and don't know if it is severe or not, so now if I don't hear the radio warning come on, I know I can roll over and go back to sleep. I knew about the tornado coming thru here last year before it was even announced on the local TV stations. Of course, the power went out just after that and with the radio automatically switching from electricity to batteries, I could keep up with what was happening. I love it! (That reminds me, I need to check the batteries in it).
*I am reminded of a story on the news several years ago. There was a tornado somewhere in the midwest and afterward they interviewed some dufus (sorry Mitch) and he said "They say it is suppose to sound like a train, but I didn't hear nothin' that sounded like a train whistle blowin' ".
