That's right. I've been forced to turn off the radio and listen to a tape.
Why?
Because Environment Canada keeps interrupting every 5 seconds with a possible tornado/thunder storm warning. Not near here, mind you, but we still get the annoying claxon sound preceding the mechanical voice telling us about it.
Tornado warnings were issued in the southwest not long after 11 a.m. as the first rounds of severe thunderstorms began to intensify.

@BarBaraPrz I'm not surprised. It'll take a lot of work to clear it all up, for sure.
