Oh Yeah, The local tv stations usually interrupt programming to say there's a tornado warning for *Said Area* and the meterologists usually stay on the air to keep a track of it live to see where it could possibly be going.

Within each state, there's a bunch of counties. So they usually say there's a tornado warning for SE Sully County.

It used to be issued for the whole county but to avoid confusion and sometimes unnecessary panic, they just use areas within a county now.

There was a funny story one time. I live by a Division I Sport College called Iowa State, and their mascot is a cyclone. One time a American Football game got interrupted because of a Tornado Warning.
