Michigan Statewide Tornado Drill Today at 1 PM
Calm down, those aren't sirens for the purge.
'Tis the beginning of tornado season, ladies and germs. And while we're all staying home and staying safe during these uncertain times, there's really no better situation than a pandemic to practice your safety measures for severe weather.
At 1 PM today, Michiganders can expect a statewide tornado drill. However, some counties (including Kent and Eaton) have decided against it, citing the current situation.
Still, if you hear the sirens go off today, don't panic. It's a good time to go over safety procedures with your kids while they're home from school.
Just don't be this guy from Puerto Rico, who freaked out ALL of his neighbors recently.
