Holy smokes! The civil servant in me cringes because this is EXACTLY what we teach people not to do! The weather nerd in me thinks this is AWESOME!

It's weird, I've been living in Greensboro, NC all my life and I have NEVER seen a tornado in my life. Greensboro rarely has any severe natural disaster, same for winston salem.
