Is it usually like this in the spring/summer down here? I've always lived on the east coast and just didn't think that tornados were all that common around here.
We get alot of watches, a few warnings. We have had our share of serious tornadoes come thru, a few by Waldorf/LaPlata, one about 2 years ago came thru Town Creek and over into Solomons.

Hmmm, good to know. Hopefully they stay away from us. Did you check on your parents yet?

Wake me if it happens. I'd probably sleep through it. The wind is soothing

Not yet. I was waiting for the storm to pass by a bit.

Channel 5 (Fox) is showing the radar and talking about the storms...a few with rotation in Culpepper area and the storms are heading this way.

I don't think we've had a good thunder storm in a long time. It's upsetting.
