[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach in an elementary school in FCPS. This is the first I've heard there was a warning, but maybe it wasn't issued for us.[/quote]

This is troubling.  Fairfax county had a tornado warning and your school should have responded.[/quote]

That's what I'm starting to think. I don't know why we didn't hear anything. [/quote]

The tornado warning covered only a small part of FCPS (the western areas).  I know because I'm in it.  My child's school had an announcement over the loudspeaker that they needed to go into storm mode or something to that effect (my 5th grader isn't great with details).

I doubt the kids in unaffected areas needed to go into tornado drill areas.  I mean, if they really wanted to go ahead and do the drill just because, fine.  But you really only need to activate your response in affected areas.[/quote]

I'm guessing this is the case. We are in Springfield and did nothing out of the ordinary yesterday. Around 1:20 it was pretty nice and classes were even outside when the nastiest part of the storm blew up and they had to come in. I never heard of any warning.[/quote]
