Vic, I'm right on the edge.. Don't push me.

I learned Meteorology with the good ol' Fujita Tornado Damage Scale, I have not yet, and do not plan on moving over to the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Damage Scale any time soon.

The EF Scale doesn't seem to be catching on anyway...TWC Meteorologists started using EF, but then went back the the Fujita Scale...which is totally understandable because when they were growing up they learned about the F-Scale practically all the time...the next generation will more than likely use the EF Scale.

Aparently the sirens are going off in the area.

Aswell, CNN is moving their opperations to their basement / lower levels as the roof is not holding anymore water and is now leaking in to the studio!
