I live in Louisville. There could be storm in another end of town than where I am and I would not see any lighrning or hear thunder from it. This storm may not have been in the area they live in. WHen they set the sirens off here they all go off all over town, not just in the area where tornado or funnel cloud is.
I was there when that happened. Had everyone go into the living room and watched the TV for updates on the rotation. Never went into the basement though
@@chasemcdowell9758 i was at the east end of westport i was at work wondering what that loud noise was everyone was ordered to take shelter from 11:34pm to 11:53 pm when the stom passed. I didn't take shelter i was outside in case someone needed to be let in.
The storm may not have been in the area they live in. I live in Louisville. WHen they set the sirens off they go off everywhere in the city, not just where the storm is. I can be in one end of town and a storm in another end and never see any lightning or hear thunder from it.
