The watch is set to expire at 9:00 pm.

These days, we see more video of nasty weather from across the country than we used to, but that does not necessarily mean the weather has gotten any worse over the past several years.

A survey conducted after a February, 2008 tornado outbreak across the South indicates many people get the warnings…they just won’t get out of harm’s way.

Severe storms can cause damage, but there is actually a definition that classifies a particular storm as severe.  Do you know what it is?

Tornado warnings can be issued based on the strength of rotating winds within a thunderstorm well before a tornado actually forms.  This allows for greater lead-time in warnings, allowing people more time to seek safety.

The Southeastern drought means trees are weaker and more likely to suffer damage in high winds.  This causes a problem when determining how strong a storm really is.
