In recent years the threat risk for tornadoes have been categorized, so I do the following under the circumstances:
Slight risk: Go about my business with a keen eye to the sky and media.
Moderate risk: Cancel all unnecessary activities and stay inside. Monitor the weather.
High risk: Batten down the hatches and prepare the basement for storm mode. Keep the weather on, because something, somewhere is going to get demolished.
Tonight’s threat is minimal to slight. I will sleep upstairs unless the sirens go off.
LOL!!!! :)
