Tornado siren? Today? Disaster? Emergency?!?
On Wednesday March 23rd, 2016 at 0950 EST, communities across the state of Ohio that have tornado warning siren systems, will test them. In addition, an Emergency Alert System (EAS) warning message will be broadcast. We encourage all communities with sirens to participate in this annual event by conducting their own tornado drills and reviewing their emergency plans.
This is only a test.
Yes it is 2016 National Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Back in 2013, a strong EF-1 hit Pepper Pike (Cuyahoga County, Ohio) in 2013 at 3am.
Luckily, there were no deaths associated with this tornado. Trust me, the damage was unreal.
Yikes is right. But now is the time to review your preparedness kits and double check your family communications plan.
On Wednesday 03-22-16 at 0950 EST, Ohio will have a statewide test of the tornado sirens. This is only a test.
Test your tornado plans by:
These simple tips could help you survive a tornado strike.
More weather info can be found 24/7 by my trusted partners at NWS-CLE.
I hope that you can participate in our statewide tornado drill tomorrow. #SafetySur #NatlPrep #OHWx #severeprep
Apparently, my first tweet…was not that exciting.
I guess that’s OK, because I was not out galavanting (or goofing off) on a Tuesday night at 11:28 PM.
Either way, Happy 10 years Twitter!
Looking forward to many more tweets!

Reviewing comments from previous classes.
Dammit. Still gotta work on this a bit more in 2016.

“Twitter for 10,000 characters” Alex.
Nope – looks like Twitter will be keeping it’s 140-character limit tweet.
In a Good Morning interview on 03-18-16 with Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey (@jack) said “Absolutely not” to the 10,000 character twitter postings – whew. Here’s the link to the video.
Thanks @Jack – Ain’t nobody got time for 10,000 characters.

Here I thought the Kik points slot machine was all BS.
Still can’t figure out how to utilize this platform for preparedness.
Or the “value” of the reward system.
Seems like Twitter is trying to prioritize the most important tweets to you.
Awwwwwwwwww, hellz no!
Well, at least they *think* they can predict what you want to read from your follower base.
Don’t be fooled. You can toggle this option off via your Twitter settings. And I suggest you do.
Because if you are like me, you like LOVE drinking from the fire hose.
So do the right thing and toggle your “best Tweets first” to the off position.
Never settle for a supposed predicted computed algorithm to calculate what it thinks I want to read. I can make that decision on my own.
