The tornado sirens just started going off in Columbus.

[VenusRising]

I've never heard them before other than testing.

1. My dear VenusRising!

Please stay safe, sweetie!

I hope you have a nice, cozy basement to take cover in...

:hug:

[VenusRising]

3. No, no basement, but plenty of inside closet.

It looks like it's hitting to the east of where we are, but wow. I'm used to hearing the sirens in Texas, not in Ohio!

:hi::hug:

[Ohio Joe]

2. I'm in Powell right now, didn't hear them

I've been in Ohio almost 10 years now and worrying about "weather" still weirds me out. I grew up in NE NJ, weather might get to be annoying but never worrying.

[Ohio Joe]

5. oop's, heh, there they go

Going off as I type this. I'm going to go do a shot of tequila :D

[VenusRising]

10. Cheers!

:toast:

[VenusRising]

7. They are going off again, now.

I live off Smokey Row, so I'm not too far from you. I'm surprised you can't hear them.

I lived in Texas where if the sirens go off, you better find shelter now. This is definitely weird.

Stay safe. :hi:

[hippywife]

12. You live near where I used to.

I lived between Sawmill and Riverside. My folks are in Hilliard. Hope all is well with you up there.

:hi:

[VenusRising]

14. We're hanging in there.

:hi:

[bigwillq]

4. Stay safe.

:hug:

[VenusRising]

8. big will do.

:P :rofl:

:hug:

[bigwillq]

11. At least you still have your sense of humor!

:P ;) :) :hi: :hug:

[realisticphish]

6. I heard them too

but it's past us already. I grew up in central ohio; tornado sirens don't make me do more than glance out the window, maybe turn on the news.

Probably a bad thing to be habituated to, but meh

[VenusRising]

9. Yeah, growing up in Tornado Alley makes one cautious.

My husband lived through the April 1979 tornado in Wichita Falls, Texas. So, he's really serious about being safe.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Fear not

No mere tornado can stand up to the awesome that is Swine Flu. :headbang:

[VenusRising]

15. Well. there is Swine Flu in Ohio.

We're saved! :woohoo:

[OmahaBlueDog]

16. Ohio? Georgia? Nebraska?

Work with me here....once you've gotten to a position of safety, of course.

[VenusRising]

17. Ohio.

You should be okay in Nebraska.

:hi:

[OmahaBlueDog]

18. Our sirens go off often enough.

stay safe.

[NightWatcher]

19. start drinking and try to get the room spinning the opposite direction from the tornado

due to a crazy gyroscopic effect they will cancel each other out.

Hurray and be safe

[VenusRising]

21. Now, if I was a drinker, you would be on to something.

You can have my share. :toast:

[RebelOne]

20. That is so frightening.

The tornodo sirens are very close to my house. And here in Cherokee County, GA, whenever there are bad thunderstorms, those things start blaring. Scares me terribly, since I live in a mobile home with nowhere to take shelter.

[VenusRising]

22. That is very scary.

I've seen enough from living in Texas to know that mobile homes are a weird tornado magnet. If there is a tornado in the area, it seems to find the mobile homes.
