Don’t know about Iowa, but the air was terrible in KC last night. Dust and the smoke came up from the Oklahoma fires. Created a smog that rivaled an uncontrolled smoke filled bar room.

We were outside in the evening last night only to walk from our hotel to T-Mobile and back. Looked like smog or haze everywhere in the air, but it was much too dry and windy for that. This morning my hair and sweater smelled like smoke. Was happy I didn't wear my contacts.

Looking at the radar, the same low that created the bad weather system in the south, loops around and is bringing blowing snow in Minnesota.

Things are starting to light up now.

Are the storms near Nashville bad? Currently Auburn and Tennessee are playing in the SEC tournament

 

[KnappShack]

One heck of a warning for Birmingham.

I hope this somehow fizzles out

I think it just got hit again, or close. Another tornado almost the exact same path.

I see that. Crazy. Salem might also get hit twice

The number of tornado warnings at one time in such a small area is pretty wild.

Earthquake this afternoon in Mississippi too

Might be time to make sure we are good with God....if we have some doubts

James Spann hasn't rolled up his sleeves yet, so we're good for now...

Nah. Turning an emergency tool into a nonemergency tool will only make people ignore it. Sorry if that offends.

Do you say the same to towns that use them as noon whistle? We would use them for fire calls up in NE Iowa to.

In a world with pocket computers it really doesn’t matter. If you’re outside (the intended audience for tornado sirens) you probably have one anyway and then you get to decide if for yourself it’s a “non-emergency”.
