I would love to bring it to you.
The day became kinda interesting for a very short while. I’m just about finished taping this one class. There may have been 5 minutes left in the lecture. Suddenly, my phone alarm rang and so did all the students’ phones. Alarms were going off everywhere. The prof just kept on with his lecture.
I glance down. Tornado WARNING! I look outside. Not even raining. Just a high overcast gray. No wind. But still, ALARMS!
The students just keep listening to the prof drone on and on. He keeps on. Finally, at five minutes after the ending time of the class, he mercifully calls it quits. The students slowly gather their things and exit. Not a one is in a hurry.
I did get a chance to call up a weather map. The dang “tornado” was spotted on radar. It wasn’t on the ground and all this panic that the university was spouting was for a radar echo about 30 - 40 miles away. To be sure, the storm was moving in our direction, but sheesh! It sounded as if death and destruction were seconds away.
The warning was cancelled 10 minutes later. We did, and do, have rain.
I know how the Tornado warnings goes. I guess better safe than sorry. Actually I don’t need the rain but my family in Carson city, close to Tahoe fires, needs it.
I’m glad it turned out to be nothing.
Professors, once again they don’t have any tie-in with reality.
How are you feeling?
I had come to visit from California to Texas. We met up in San Antonio. There were storms all over. As we were sitting at an outside restaurant on the Riverwalk, my oldest read, from his phone, about the storms.
I looked up at the sky and told him that I could have told him that. Good laugh.
