Storm Watch
By Charles Pulliam
On June 6, here in Vermillion, there was a tornado warning.
High gusts throughout the day tossed trees back and forth, snapping off branches and littering the ground with twigs and leaves.
High winds are common for me, coming from Alaska, but an actual tornado is unheard of. All the movies and books I’ve read about storms were going through my mind like a vivid slide show.
To my disappointment, no tornado came, no sirens sounded and no evacuations were necessary.
My first tornado watch ended without any excitement or danger.
