So was there a tornado or not? We keep getting these warnings and when it’s over I can’t find any information on what really happened! Am I just hiding in the bathroom with my son and dog for nothing? Are these more like watches or did a tornado actually form? I’m not used to this weather, so I’m just wondering what the heck has been going on.
