What do you grab as the tornado sirens are going off? - CHARLENE  PERRY/MD

Personally, I have some problems with the weather warning systems.

First of all, they issue warnings when there are "radar signatures" that look like what a tornado might look like on radar.  In my experience, most of the time these events are not actually even funnel clouds, much less tornados on the ground.

Another issue: I live in the northern part of a county that is about 30 miles tall and 30 miles wide.  If a tornado (again, usually just a "radar signature" not an actual tornado) is in the far southern part of the county headed east, the sirens go off in the whole county-- even though the tornado is of no threat to most of the county.  This situation has existed my entire lifetime with no improvement, despite advances in technology.  Can't they break it down by zip code or something with new technology?

Of the last several dozen tornado warnings in my area, I recall no actual physical damage from a tornado within a 10 mile radius of my home.  It's getting to be a case of "crying wolf."  When I learn of a tornado warning, I do not dive for cover, far from it.  I might calmly log on to weather.com-- if what I am doing at the time is not that interesting.  This complacency is probably going to get me killed someday, and I am blaming the overuse of the sirens for that!

Finally, the sirens themselves-- there are none particularly close by my home, and for me, it's a sound that doesn't hit my consciousness right away.  It's a case where the sirens have probably been going off for 10 minutes, and then finally I realize that I'm hearing tornado sirens.  In real life, this usually turns out okay, because, as I say, the vast majority of tornado warnings in my county do not represent an actual threat to my immediate vicinity.  One day, there will be an actual tornado, and I will be swept away probably because I did not recognize the sirens in time.

Anyway, be safe!
