Wow, never thought I'd see a tornado warning for San Diego County (now expired)

1. tornado preparedness

if tornado is upon you:

avoid being near electric lines and windows.

get under a heavy table or go to basement or hide in a bathtub

protect your eyes

width of tornado can vary and be multiple vortexes.

hail is a sign.

warm humid air meets cold air.

2. Thank you, I have family (without basements) in tornado-prone areas and always worry for them. Never thought

I'd get my own warning here. I'm more used to wildfire alerts...

3. We got one of these warnings last year with all our storms.

At least up in the Vista part of North County that I'm in.

4. Hurricane Hilary maybe? I'm in East County, and I don't recall getting a warning to take cover immediately,

so maybe they only broadcast it to North County? A family member said teachers were having the kids shelter in place at an elementary school. That just boggled my mind.

5. I don't recall, to be honest.

I just know I had PTSD from seeing this alert yesterday. The alert came through and then it was like BAM! The rain started coming down so hard, I couldn't even see my palm trees in my front yard from my office window.

6. I know, right? Even Miracle March 1991doesn't hit the same as last year and this year.

Stay safe and dry!
