right there by town*

So, according to the Weather Channel, there is a tornado warning here right now. Except there has been nothing issued by the National Weather Service (according to their website) and the sirens are silent.

Oh, I just figured out the problem. The screen says "Manitowoc", but the woman just informed us that the tornado warning is in "Man-i-TOE-wick" county. Totally different place. heh.

I think they may be confusing tornadoes with flash floods. Hm.

*post title courtesy of the Found Footage Festival. If'n you haven't seen it, come on over to my house and we'll watch it. Mullets, chair dancing, and Jack Rebney ("accoutrements?!") abound.


P.S. Oh, ok. now supposedly there is a tornado warning for this area. But no sirens. WTF, Manitoewick County? Get with the program!

P.P.S. Sirens! This would be about the time I normally freak and force everyone into the basement, instead of sitting in my many-windowed living room. Hm. Blogging is oddly calming.
