I have to admit, it was more than a little eye-popping. There was a tornado watch for an area including Washington County, a stone’s throw from my present apartment, this afternoon. No tornado, not even clouds that looked like they might seriously threaten a tornado. But the watch was there. It expired at 6:00 pm,[1] apparently without incident.
