Watching Tornadoes On Local TV…

Felt like it could storm when the hamburgers were cooking on the grill, really humid. Now the sirens are blowing. I went to sleep after dinner and woke up to this. May have to go to the neighbor’s shelter in a bit. The tornado has done some significant damage where it’s been tracked. Every time the storm chaser shows live feed and there are lightening flashes you can see the tornado.

How do your birds react when there is tornado activity nearby? I know the storm has passed you by, by now, and you are safe...but I am curious!

@4meAndyou Boo-Boo will get startled if it thunders real loud but other than that they are OK. I tell him that I’m not scared and he shouldn’t be scared either and he calms right down.

@cherokeepatti It's awesome that he understands your reassurances!

@4meAndyou We were going shopping yesterday and before we left I walked up to him and told him we were leaving and we’d be back. He quickly asked me “What are you doing?” So I told him we were going shopping. He knew we wouldn’t be gone all day that way.

Any detected rotation gets a tornado siren here. I think that is a mistake because they go off constantly here during a storm and people are beginning to ignore them now.
