It’s spring storm season in southern Indiana and yesterday gave our weather radio quite the workout.
First, severe thunderstorm warnings… then a tornado warning.
Not a watch, you guys. A TORNADO WARNING! One of those take cover and wear a helmet warnings where the city’s sirens were blaring. Like any true Midwesterner, we were outside with our trusty phones — taking still shots and even video.
Running back inside about 2 seconds before the sideways rain began, we turned on a Louisville TV channel (our most local source for weather updates), and was promptly informed that Seymour was not really about to be flattened by high tornadic winds after all! Seems the National Weather Service retracted the warning shortly after it was reported in error.
The good news is…
The upside is that I know our weather radio is fully operational — as is my iPhone’s weather app, my Android’s weather app, and my watch’s weather app. 🙄
TIL (Today I Learned): A woman once sued herself for the wrongful death of her husband. The district court threw out the suit saying that you can’t sue yourself, but the case appealed to the supreme court who ruled that you can.
