I wondered if someone alerted all

emergency services when the threat is near?

when I worked with an agency where the occasional tornado was spotted, we'd

tone all the fire stations when there was a tornado warning so they'd be awake

(if it were night time) and ready if needed.

the problem we have are those lovely people who insist on calling 911 and

ask what to do when a tornado has been spotted. its really frustrating

since most of those people have lived in northeastern colorado all their

life and are just now wondering what to do if there is a tornado.

This happens here, too. Tulsa is right in Tornado Alley. You know, if I

was moving to southern California, I would find out what to do in an

earthquake before I went. If I was moving to Florida, I would find out what

to do in a hurricane before I went. If I was moving ANYWHERE, I would

research weather, crime, etc. But people who move here (and Tulsa has LOTS

of people who are not from Oklahoma) don't do that. It really really

frustrates me. Not only that, but all the local stations tell people over

and over during the weather (and they stay on non-stop during bad weather)

what to do when the tornado is coming. So, these people are obviously not

even turning on the TV (which is the first thing I do when a bad storm

comes.) Grrr!
