Exclamation Tornado Warning

Just got back from the driving on the treacherous roads only to find we have a tornado warning. You have to love tornado warnings in February. Didn't we just have a tornado warning in January or was that December? Stay Safe Union County!

Check the WBTV weather link it is a warning. It happens everywhere but February seems a little early. Used to seeing them in late spring and during the hurricane season. They are definitely no fun. Ask the locals that remember them spinning off Hurricane Hugo.
