2nd warning has been cancelled. There are no active tornado warnings right now.

It's totally useless -- the ONLY time my phone buzzed with the alarm it was to say it had been canceled.

Tornado watch = not imminent, but conditions may be ripe for development.
If your husband is in the "warning" zone, then they should go somewhere safe. Follow Capital Weather Gang for more specifics or National Weather Service for alerts and more precise areas of concern.
They need to change the warning/watch name designation to be clearer. Warning and watch are so confusing.
Ok, we have a warning so I took cover in my basement right away. My husband is driving home with our kids right now.
Complete overreaction
You are fine.

It's not that hard. The "R" in warning = run! Ie, it means that situation is imminent, both with regards to tornado warning and thunderstorm warning.

In Great Falls it’s been extended to 9:15 PM
NP but the original one was cancelled and replaced with a new one. The PP who said it's cancelled is giving bad information. It's heading from McLean to Silver Spring.

For fairfax, but not for mclean, moco, chevy chase, or northern DC. That (new) warning is in effect until 9:15.

Check the weather to see what the path is. Fairfax may not be in the path.

My husband and kids are driving from mid-Fairfax to northern Fairfax. DH doesn’t think this is a big deal. I’m so sorties for them.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
