Something not pointed out is that I had a pick of four cars at the time. Sheryl was out in her VW, so I had access to the CrossCab, the Miata, the E61, and the Scion. The Scion was the closest and the CrossCab was the furthest away.
The birdies had a little bug out bag with themselves, some food, and water in it. I carried my box of keys and titles.
I’m not quite sure why I gravitated to the worst choice of a getaway car.
The wild thing was that the community center had people in the workout room. When I said the tornado sirens are blaring, they ignored me entirely.
Id actually put the CC as number 2/4 for best choice, potentially first. Because AWD and higher clearance in a storm scenario.
Your neighbors are…not too sharp.
I had a funnel cloud go over my back yard, going towards my local village, only when it had gone over my house did they sound the alarm. I have security cam footage of the wind literally reversing for a bit. That was fun.
Alarm fatigue is real. If they sound the siren every time there’s a possibility, people will tune out the siren. Sounds like they already have.
Illinois now has more tornadoes than any other state. It’s wild that Tornado Alley has shifted eastward for no apparent reason. /s
I was just saying this week if an evil genius created a Tornado machine (not the delicious gas station roller snacks) they would deploy it on the first Wednesday of the month at 1PM (that’s our siren test).
We didn’t get the tornado warnings in the city but we did have some intense lightning and really strong downpours. When I parked my car at the bar last night, the street was clear. When I came out to leave, the Miata was in a very large puddle.
