Let's hope not!!!! This isn't Kansas anymore Auntie M! But in all seriousness I hope not but it sure looks like a wild weather ride the next 36 to 48 hours! Stay tuned to your radio's!
Uh oh. Stock up on bread! Fill your gas tank! Accumulate drinking water! Check that the generators are locked and loaded! And above all, batten down the hatches!!!!!!!!!!
1. Where can you purchase a good weather radio?
2. Your sitting in your home, it's 3 am and it goes off. A tornado warning right in your specific area. What specifically do you do?
I asked my neighbor and he claims if the tornado warning is right on top of him, he actually gets in his vehcle and drives away. The advice I read states this is a bad idea. However, did you see thosestick built homes hit last month? Would not matter where in the house you were, anyone in those homes was dead. We don't have tornado basements in this area, so what do you personally do? So, It's 3 am, dark outside and you have a warning right smack on top of you, your move? Cross fingers, pray, what do you do?

First, we check the radar to see if we're in the path of the storm. If that isn't possible we go immediately downstairs to the center room of our house, the 1/2 bath. Thankfully, we've never had to do this, but we have often gotten up to check the radar (as Wake County is large and a general tornado warning for the county may mean the storm path is no where near our home).
