Tornado Watch in effect for the theme park areas through to this evening - Nov 17 2014

You can come here anytime you need a break from the nice weather and I'll go to your place.

It's currently 34 with a "real feel" of 24....it's snowing, and I'd throw myself on the ground to protest/tantrum but no one would care.

Same here in Montreal, it's been snowing all day...Maybe it is a little Canada's fault...

Typical Canadian - apologizing for things that are not our fault.











Sorry, we just can't help ourselves.

So did the tornado destroy Lilo and Stitch?

Pittsburgh has a "feels like" temp of -1. My job interview outfit has been switched from black lace dress and heels to black pants and fleece lined Mary janes. I hate it.


Pretty sure this is illegal. Also sure its Canadas fault.

This makes me laugh. We had a cold front come in last week and the high only got up to 38 at one point. It's warmed up a bit and now the highs are in the 50s, but the poor Houstonians are still tromping around in their down coats and scarves. There's just no concept of cold here...

Its just a watch. Funny how a lot of the cast members dont know the difference between a watch and a warning. No big deal to be honest, its too cold.

"It's just a watch", until it isn't. Obviously you've never experienced a Tornado Watch turn into a Tornado Warning, directly over your head. Sirens don't even get a chance to go off when that happens. I tend to keep a close eye on my radar app after that one.

Yep. I was under a tornado watch at work recently until we had a real tornado warning (not yesterday). We launched immediately into our tornado warning procedures (go to lowest level of the building, wait until all clear, etc.)

I think too many people are too light hearted about the Watch status. As you said, there may not be any notification that the Watch is/has changed to a Warning as it has to change somewhere, and if it's over you, well....duck and grab something. While I've been fortunate and never caught in anything too serious, here in the Chicagoland area, there is a history of much damage from both severe storms and tornados. Scary stuff.

Agreed. Here in NW florida we were under watches most of the day which TURNED INTO warnings. Most people here always say" we don't get tornadoes" but that EF2 in Blountstown was just above us. A tornado is a tornado is a tornado!!
