What is the DEAL with folks in Savannah? People are acting like there has never been a strong storm before. Closing school? SERIOUSLY? Now, the school my kids attend has a bunch of trailers, so I can kind of see their point in that case. But pretty much all schools have been closed since noon and it is just now starting to rain in the ‘Ham.
"The sky is falling!"
Yes, there is a tornado WATCH in effect.
Yes, there will be strong winds, heavy rain and the potential for flooding in low-lying areas.
But that is every afternoon in the summer, no?
In fact, the radar picture looks very similar to stuff we see all the time.
I’m not particularly worried, and I’m a meteorologist. I also play one on TV!
Observe and report 
Man, the station has been a buzz with all the phone calls, emails etc from people calling to give us school closing! It’s a freaking pain!
