So what's the difference between a tornado warning and a tornado watch?” my friend asked.
Hunkering down in the basement, we became engrossed in the surrounding towers of bulk toilet paper and cleaning supplies, chattering nervously. We had sufficiently wiped clean the remnants of a bridal shower when the sky grew ominous. It was the evening of Nov. 17, and we waited as sirens wailed and lights flickered. Heavy rains and ferocious “straight line” winds were pulsing through our Cincinnati suburb.
Rattled homeowners reported a storm that “hit like an earthquake,” downing trees and leaving more than 33,000 locals without power. Proprietors in nearby northern Kentucky said “bricks were raining” down a sidewalk. Little did we know our relative good fortune.
