It looks like we&#8217;re in for an afternoon and evening of severe weather, with thunderstorm warnings, flash flood watches, and tornado watches in effect. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.erh.noaa.gov\/btv\/\">National Weather Service<\/a>, a tornado watch is in effect for the entire North Country &#8212; almost all of Northern New York and Vermont &#8212; until 9 p.m. That means that weather conditions are ripe for producing tornados.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in North Texas, tornado watches &#8212; and warnings &#8212; were par for the course. We&#8217;d be at the public pool in early summer when lifeguards would blow the whistle at the first sign of lighting or a funnel cloud.

The other destination of choice during a tornado: in your bath tub, with a mattress pulled over your head. what memories do you have of severe summertime weather?<\/p>\n<p>As today&#8217;s storm progresses, we&#8217;d like to know about what&#8217;s happening in your region.
