This is kind of a sore subject with me but since you brought it up... Yesterday, my phone rang and it was my dad (has farmed this area for over 50 years) telling me that there was a tornado on the ground east of their house - why he didn't call the sheriff's office I don't know. Anyway, I told him to call the sheriff and I would call the school which I did. The school is two blocks away and my folks are 5 miles outside of town so after I hung up from the school I did what they tell you not to do - I headed for the school where my child was. I get there and the kids are still in the classroom and the sec said they called the sheriff and the National Weather Service had not issued a tornado warning and they could not take the kids out of class until one was issued. I took my daughter and neice out of class and took them home with me as shelter was available at every house between mine and the school if we needed it. The National Weather Service did not recognize the rotation in the storm for another 20 minutes.

If one of the farmers or ranchers in this area says there is /was a tornado on the ground then THERE WAS A TORNADO ON THE GROUND and I don't care what the weather service says. I can't believe that the school did not put the kids in the halls until they were sure that it was safe...

Shit Temple, I am sorry. I personally like to watch them, hell Im in Colorado we get them every Spring and Fall like crazy, but they never hurt anyone.

Stay safe Temple, I would never want one of those bad things to get you or the kids.

I agree, they are cool to watch unless they are headed your direction LOL. When I was a kid we had one that ripped the end out of my dad's shop and we were in the shop as it was hailing to hard to get to the cellar. We only get a few a year here.
