Shawnee County Tornado Warning 5-2-2008

At around 1:00AM a Tornado Warning was issued for Shawnee County, Kansas. Imedately the warning was broadcast over the Weather Radio and local TV. Tornado Sirens blared through the county warning those outside that a tornado was near. 5-10minutes later it was cancled. Here is my video! Sirens heard include 2001 (half mile away) Thunderbolt1000T(2 miles away) and possibly a Thunderbolt1000(1 mile away) and a Model 5(5 blocks away)

Is this rare to get a tornado waring at 1 am in your area?

On August 19, we had one in Minneapolis, MN just missing the heart of downtown. I don't think it was even hot on this day.

Well it's not common...but it's not unheard of either...

In the 1930's a tornado hit Topeka that destroyed the campus of washburn University and killed 17 people and destroyed 500 homes and 50 businesses.
