The way I figure it, if the night’s TV news is it’s usual banal collection of crime clowns and perp walks, then that means that at least the world’s not ended. I at least assume they would notice and report that.

My dad had one of those weather radios also. We never listned to the news to tornado watch; especially since we only got the station out of St. Joe to begin with. We heard what was really happening without any hype.

I’ve been privy to a microburst outside of my dorm at KSU (recently graduated). Lemme tell you, potted plants are the least of your concerns. Most houses, especially in JC, have “shade trees” which will bend in amazing ways if they’re as young as the ones outside of Goodnow are, and presumably snap and destroy things if they’re older.

Microbursts are much smaller forces than real tornados. But they’re also very destructive in other ways. Imagine a parking lot full of cars. They’re full of recently deposited air around one atmosphere. When wind starts moving at like 100 mph, the pressure differential will actually cause all the windows in cars to pop outwards, thanks to the bornuelli principal (at least that’s the explaination we came up with). Not a friendly combo with the rain and wind.

Basically, I don’t watch the local news. If there’s a tornado, we have sirens. My old grandfather used to have a NOAA radio for such things. They take it far more seriously, I hear.

TG for all the weather info now available on the COMPUTER.

Channel 5 “News” is a contradiction of terms anymore.
