officially started spring, we've had an outbreak of severe weather, and almost two weeks ago, where we had three tornadoes. across the state, annually, we have 26 tornadoes, and three deaths, 36 injuries. severe thunderstorms of course also an issue for us. it does take a strong thundersrm to cat a tornado, but not all strong storms create tornadoes, and create the same sort of damage we see the tornadoes with winds over 58 miles-per-hour, and large hail. and so do you know the difference between a watch and warn something a watch means it's possible for severe -- warning or watch means it's happening in your neighborhood, especially if it's a warning you need to know your safe spot, which is always a basement or small first floor room with no windows. hopefully it will be a fairly quiet severe weather season for
