Are we weather ready?

There is a big conference going on at work about "Weather Ready Nation." All sorts of talks and such. I of course am not invited (thank goodness) probably because I'm always weather ready as opposed to those silly stormchasers. Well about 2:30 today the tornado sirens went off in town. This is not normal. Our normal test time is Saturday at noon. And we had just had rain and it was overcast and it was warmer than normal. As I was straining to hear the siren through the building I kept wondering I wonder if that is really what I hear? Then I texted home to see if they could hear it there and yes they could. Then I went to facebook (isn't that where all of us get weather related information) and lots of posts wondering why the sirens were going off. After a couple of minutes they went off. And it is officially "a malfunction probably computer program related".

I personally think that it was testing all these weather ready people in our building to see what they would do. And the answer was nothing. We just looked at each other and did nothing.

I believe that would be considered an EPIC FAIL!
