I saw that umbrella thing happen at a car show, big gust took it from the folding table, sent it up about 25'-30' feet, and luckily just missed coming down nose-first on the hood of a Vette. Course, it was a Vette group (that took up 4 parking spaces), that set up the table with the big umbrella in the first place.

The sirens in Columbus didn't go off last night, but when they do, they go off in the whole of Franklin county, so nobody really freaks when they do. Besides, when the local TV weatherman says hysterically that HE is heading for the shelter, then I might consider it, depending on what their super-duper, only on this channel, double double Titan doppler weather radar shows.
