captpackratThe previous tornado watch ran out, so they started up a second one. There was one miserable little storm 100 miles west of us, and it's totally dispersed by now. We haven't gotten even a drop of rain. It looks like there might be a tornado a little bit southwest of Des Moines, but that's a good 120 miles away.
The NWS has had a pretty poor record on tornado watches this year. None of them have been even close and most of them weren't even regular thunderstorms, let alone severe. I fear people are going to start ignoring the watches if they keep crying wolf.
