Ok they are off now, might of been high wind sirens. But still we have a very strong band of storms passing through with at least 3-4 tornados on the ground.

Ugh never mind the number of tornados, all the stations are giving different numbers.
edit 4:26 sirens going off again.

You are so lucky in a way. I've always wanted to see a tornado. Did you get my PM with the video?

We had a buttload of tornadoes on Wednesday, but nothing happened besides a bunch of trees being down. I have pictures, though..

Well come on over here we have already passed the average number of tornados for a single season and we are barely into tornado season. Right now in case of blackout I've got two candles lit right in front of me.
Yes I did get your video, you have quite the lovely voice.

Unfortunately camera is currently missing thanks to my family being terrible with keeping track of electronics. But it would be a rather interesting thing to record, especially for those of you who rarely see tornados since you aren't on the edge of tornado alley. I'm only on in the floor of the house that is half underground, so I really should go to the basement.

Here is the link to the violent weather radar map where Renatus is located, click on the red "Tornado Warning" link in the upper left corner to get the report.

Back out of the basement again, no tornado's hitting Waukesha(though the winds were swirling so one could have touched down at any moment) but downtown apparently has manhole covers being shot into the air due to the sewers overflowing. There are also the areas right next to the river to worry about. This is the second day in a row of tornado warnings which apparently the weatherman has never heard of here before. Another thing to worry about is Milwaukee's sewer system many times in the past has had to dump unprocessed sewage into Lake Michigan in order to avoid overflow of the sewers backing up into houses.
edit: second wave coming in fast. Looking at the title what is a Torado?

Yeah, we had the sirens and the nonsense here too, but we never actually get the tornado, just the wind and the rain. It's been doing random stop and start raining. One minute it looks ok, 3 seconds later it's pouring, then it just cuts off. I went outside and enjoyed.

Heh back during my freshman year in Earth Science the books we were using actually had a picture of a tornado right behind this one shopping plaza I've been by countless times, my grandfather's neighbor down in Racine's house got hit by a tornado, my father knows the family quite well fortunately no one was hit.
Speaking of disasters right near where my father grew up you heard about the semi crashing into a school bus a week or two ago right? The school the bus was taken them home from is just a walk away from the tornado damaged house and my grandfather's house

Further North? Waukesha and Racine are to south-south east of Madison.

Ah, we had a tornado here recently, but it was out pretty fast. Fuck California, we have every natural disaster possible except hurricanes: Flood, blizzard, hail, fire, earthquake, tornado, etc. Not fun.

They are quite amazing, if only they didn't end up causing floods half the time.
