Severe weather and tornado threat for March 2, 2012

A widespread severe weather outbreak is expected today with large hail, damaging winds, and numerous tornadoes possible.  This is a significant weather threat.  Stay tuned to local media and weather radio for updates.  Remember, the policy in Hamilton County has been changed and the tornado sirens will ONLY be set off for a tornado warning.  So, if you hear the sirens a tornado has been detected.  Also, a watch means a tornado can develop at any time even without a warning.  If weather gets rough, assume a tornado is possible and take cover.  Take this seriously today.
