Damn sirens are going off here
and the local TV channels are on high alert for bad weather. And it is slightly cloudy out. No rain.

Damn they aren't showing any Sunday morning TV shows, like This Week, because of this fake bad weather alert.

This pisses me off every spring. If we want to know what is going on with the weather, isn't that why we have The Weather Channel? Why the fuck does EVERY local channel have to go on high alert because there is bad weather 40 miles from here? :grr:

2. 60 miles east
It is only slightly cloudy here and no rain.

But the sirens are going off and EVERY goddamn local channel is on high weather alert. No MTP, no This Week. Damn this pisses me off every spring.

3. I hate those sirens
When I was a kid I lived in West Texas. Now every time I hear a freakin siren I go berserk. I hate those things. Everytime there is a thunderstorm I am in the basement. My husband thinks I am crazy (we live in Maine) My mom is the same way - she grew up in Lubbuck, TX. Stay safe.

4. They go off so much we just ignore them
Last major tornado we had here the one guy who died was out in his yard looking at the sky.

Damn chicken little sirens.
