re: #19 Anymouse
Severe thunderstorm watch posted, with rotating thunderstorms on radar approaching us. Yay spring.
When our Internet service goes out, if there is a tornado warning issued, we have to push a manual button on our tornado siren. (Pesky Internet of Things.) As the village trustee who lives closest to the tornado siren, guess who gets to go outside in a tornado to hold the button.
Is it close enough you can set up a string to pull without having to go outside?
