Don't livestream bad wearher

So all weather here travels west to east. And say you live west, and a co-worker lives east.

Here are some things to keep in mind for future weather events:

1. If you are working at home and the co-worker at the office a few miles to the east, do not bother to advise co-worker that bad weather is coming. It may be well-intentioned but ill-advised.
2. Do not assume that just because the hail has stopped at your house that the danger is over.
3. If the news tells you that a tornado has been identified heading west to east, just ... freaking shut up about it.
4. If the co-worker says "Is it headed to my house?" then lie, even if his house is directly in the leading edge of the tornado parallelogram, even if the weatherman has JUST SAID the name of his neighborhood as the target of the tornado.
5. When the storms splits in two cells, definitely post a photo of the TV screen that shows his neighborhood with one tornado north of his house and one south. 

Seriously, I should have seen how that was going to play out.

Based on my memory of where I recollect you might live, I believe your area suffered a horrible terribleness of modern weather. I assume from this post that you and your coworker are okay.
But...
YIKES! It split in to TWO?! The whole thing sounds utterly terrifying. We suffered a storm here on April 29th that destroyed lots of stuff and wiped out electrical power to many for a week. AND YET it was not ranked as a derecho nor a tornado. Just a "line of severe thunderstorms." I get jittery now whenever a thunderstorm is predicted.

Be well. Live long and prosper. May you ever be outside the path of the tornado.

Common Household Mom - (let's see if this makes it past the filter) When we had the tornado on our street that upended two trees and ripped a top floor off a neighbor's house, they initially said those were straight-line winds. The re-categorized it later as an F1 baby tornado. The hail sounded a lot like the hailstorm from - I think -- 1999 that shattered every window and roof in the area where I grew up. And while I don't live in Tenessee, that's where most of the deaths seem to be now.

Common Household Mom - (it lets me use your whole name now) - I just read that 18 died in Kentucky.
