Yep, they sure woke DW and I up! The wooden fence in back is torn down. I feel bad, because we had just sold this house, but sometimes life just is not fair. Power was finally restored at 9:20 and the first place I headed was The Cat Site.Originally Posted by mrblanche
to the sound of the tornado sirens. Looks like the folks on the north side of Dallas had some real excitement!
Yes, we have one -- but Mom no longer knows where.Originally Posted by strange_wings
To those that are in areas of severe weather, do any of you have weather radios? They're kind of annoying since they'll sound alarms for any severe weather, not just tornadoes, but they are helpful.
I need to double check the manual, I'm not sure if the one we have offers that. Though the other week it was a severe t-storm warning, tornado watch, and possiblity of hail that keep setting it off.Originally Posted by CarolPetunia
I believe they've advanced now so that you can program them to switch on only for tornado warnings, and only for warnings in the counties you select, which means you can leave it plugged in all the time!
