It was scary. I haven't been frightened of the weather in quite some time. Thankfully, my neighborhood just got the insane rain and crashing thunder and lightening, the sirens never fired up in my specific neighborhood.

I will say this... tornado reporting/warning has gotten a whole lot better. Last spring when we got 14 tornadoes, and with this storm, the weather people were able to be very specific about where the greatest danger was and when it would be striking what neighborhoods/areas. The sirens are more targeted too.
