I'm from South Bend, where we had Tornadoes come through in the past...They are called TORNADO sirens for a reason. There were no funnel clouds and they even knew that it was straight line winds, not converging weather patterns. If we had sirens every time there was bad weather, nobody would know when a Tornado was on the ground and to really seek shelter. I hope nobody was seeking shelter last night because it was just a regular storm with lightning and thunder. You continue to have sirens blaring for weak storms and the boy that cried wolf will be crying when the wolf actually bites him and he wasn't ready for it. I would have no problem with sirens going off if the conditions were very bad and that even though a tornado hasn't touched, it was inevitable. Just my opinion I guess. When a logical person sees bad weather, they should turn on their tv or radio to see whats coming...the sirens should not be telling you that. This thread should be merged with the sissies thread. Haha. Was a good show of lighting though.

was this you? :)

Looks like the whole state is, or is about to, get hammered. 2 funnel clouds have been spotted in Pulaski County. Stay safe

Just got power back about an hour ago.
Sirens had been blaring all morning.
Funnels missed us to the west and north.

Yeah, it was crazy here.
I had the family under my slate pool table in the man cave.
All while they were reporting funnels in the neighboring towns and the sirens were going off.

Pretty eerie stuff for awhile.

I'm actually down in St Louis now, but we got some pretty crazy winds down here too.

I know some friends up in Peoria, Washington, and Pekin that got hammered. A few of my old co-workers lost their houses. The images and video's I've seen are of pure devastation. Keep Washington, IL in your prayers. 1 confirmed dead up there with many others still critical at the hospitals.

Got windy here (10 miles east of campus), but much less than I expected.
