Pittsburghers and Tornado Warnings

Pittsburgh Weather Forecast Update: Tornado Watch

It's boring with or without a tornado...

Earlier we posted the Boring Pittsburgh weather forecast for any given day. As predicted, it went from being a beautiful day to a depressing afternoon. We might even get some tornado action by this evening.

Dear friends, we wish you were right. This reaction is a result of denial. It is an anti-boredom mechanism that takes over you. In fact, it’s even more boring because tornados are dangerous.

But you know what’s not boring? Watching yinzers make funny videos about them.

Twitter:

alexanderhall – @BoringPGH tornado watch just issued until 10 pm…that’s not so boring!

Facebook:

Matt Vela – Hey, HEY! There’s a tornado watch going on! Guess Pittsburgh isn’t so boring anymore, ey?

Email:

Hi BP – Did you hear there is a tornado warning in effect until 10? TORNADO WATCHHHHHH. You call that boring?!
