Sirens going off. Bother. Just hope the car survives the hail, hope the birds stay calm.... Edit: Over. Lame. Pea-size hail for, like, half a second and a sneeze of rain. The whisp'ry sirens were the worst part.
Manhattan has the most pathetic tornado sirens ever. I was standing on the steps of West (which is right across from King, where there are sirens) and they were just WIMPY.
You could tell we were a bunch of Kansas farm girls though...30 of us standing out, looking at a funnel cloud as it flew over and taking pictures.
They are not great sirens. At least once they went off at about 5:40 am and I baaaarely managed to hear them over the fan (this was before I started needing Tylenol PM to sleep, and now a tornado coming through the room won't wake me). Feh.
Just wish there was a better storm-watchin' vantage from up here. Too many trees, too many houses. Feh. No fun!
Where'd the funnel go? I haven't seen any since one hopped over the Farm Bureau building in '93....
