It won’t, 95% of the time there is a watch around here we never get anything.
Then again we haven’t gotten a tornado around here in a while, so maybe we’re due for one. It did get really dark and windy out there all of a sudden :ohnoes
Tornadoes can still form even if the terrain is not completely flat. They are more rare, but they can happen. I’ve seen cases of tornadoes ripping up mountains. (I used to be really interested in the weather… still am, in fact I want to go to school for it but the job market absolutely SUCKS lol).
Anyone remember the tornado that touched down in Mechanicville and the airport a few years ago? I have a feeling we may have a repeat of that tonight if the conditions stay the way they are right now. :ohnoes
