Or do they just blast them anyway just in case?

Means there's a warning where I live, which doesn't necessarily mean 1 has touched down.

I think they go off when the funnel cloud starts

How fucking cool/terrifying are tornados though

Usually means a funnel cloud has been spotted.

storms are regional. You can drive in a storm and suddenly it stops, meaning you drove out of a storm.

It doesn't affect the entire region unless it's large. Also storms move. And so do tornadoes.

Tornadoes can also change course.

It varies. Touchdown or a clear funnel cloud is an obvious cause for a warning, but these can be hard to find at night or when the tornado is rain-wrapped. If radar has some strong indicators of one (e.g. circulating air, unusual wind speeds, a debris cloud, a so-called "hook echo"), a warning might be issued for those reasons, just in case one is there that no one has spotted. Better safe than sorry.

apparently, if it looks likes a tornado isn't moving, then it's heading towards you.

I thought you meant football.

More on topic, here in Georgia weve had warnings all night and the power just went out.

Kinda cool how the switch automatically switches (heh) to handheld mode when its docked and you lose power.

Used to it fucking with my PS4/

These guys don't care they just keep driving towards it to get a closer look at the trees getting plowed over.

Yeah. I was hearing sirens but they sounded pretty far away and the weather report wasn't clear. It sounded like something touched down in lawrenceville but wasn't sure.

Local news is generally pretty good if there are any tornados on the ground.

They had good coverage earlier in the year when Cobb county down by the airport had one going along.
