We have so many tornado alerts that I usually ignore them. I've even heard the alarms sound a bunch of times too. However, once when I was working downtown, I was ignoring the alert as usual, when my friend came to my office and told me we really needed to leave. She had been looking at the dopplar radar on the internet so she knew it was bad. I was like, we have tornado alerts every other day! Finally she talked me into leaving and the tornados hit downtown 20 minutes later doing a ton of damage. It was so weird later looking at the skyline with all those windows broken out.
I guess that's my typical way of dealing with scary things, pretend they don't exist.
I still don't get too worried about an alert, I just continue on with what I'm doing, but now I at least pay attention.
Of course, if I were ever actually in one, I'm sure I'd be alot less nonchalant.-T
