The first Tornado Drill of the day will occur at 1:45pm for Minnesota & Wisconsin. This is a great opportunity to practice a tornado safety plan at work or home, and a great reminder that sirens are only meant for those outdoors! More info at weather.gov/mpx/swaw#Drills
@NWSTwinCities Are you guys still doing the 6:45 drill for your counties in WI? I am assuming the 6:45 drill is still fully on for MN?
@NWSTwinCities I was concerned when I first heard the sirens at 6:45, then I found this tweet helped me calmed down, thanks for the info!
@NWSTwinCities —> “And a great reminder that sirens are ONLY meant for those outdoors!” <— Woah wait… so there IS NO tornado if I’m indoors? Or I should just ignore the siren if I’m indoors? Or indoors is somehow magical and it will protect me? 🧐
@NWSTwinCities These tornado drills are ridiculous. For those who aren’t watching network television all they do is condition us to not pay attention. Oh, another drill! I have had complete respect for NWS but explain how these sirens actually make people pay more attention and not disregard.
@NWSTwinCities No info at all on the NWS weather site that I het my weather information from nor any other weather app.
