Now that it is over there were no tornado's at all in the area, in fact anywhere, but there were some straight line winds which is More normal for such a storm. The NWS only reported conditions that could produce tornado's. The local Tv was reporting that Tornado's were eminent.
What is the difference between a Tornado Watch & a Tornado Warning?
A tornado watch is just to let folks know to be on the lookout for a possible tornado in the area whereas a Tornado Warning is a notification that a tornado has been seen or picked up by radar.
Tornado Watch
A Tornado Watch is issued to alert people to the possibility of a tornado developing in your area. At this point, a tornado has not been seen but the conditions are very favorable for tornados to occur at any moment.
Things to do when a Tornado Watch is issued.
The NWS issues these not the local TV station. I am really becoming that I do not trust the media for accurate information.
