I looked out my window because it was a tornado warning. Sure enough i could see a tornado 10 miles away. I took a photo and hoped people were okay. Turns out they didn't get an alarm where the tornado was. I feel like a heel for assuming they were getting the same warning and not calling 911 myself. Turns out someone saw the beginnings of a funnel cloud near us and we got a warning. It didn't turn into a tornado. I did not know tornado warnings were so specific to cell towers themselves. I thought whole regions got warnings. I don't think anybody was seriously hurt. But if you see something say something.
