Isn't it called a tornado watch until they see an actual tornado?

It's a Sacramento suburb north of the city.

Tornado Watch or Severe T-Storm Watch/Warning goes to Tornado Warning when either spotters see a funnel cloud or radar shows rotation.

I think they issued a severe thunderstorm warning, but it has expired now.

I see. I used to live in Kansas. I miss the tornado sirens 🙁 We would always go down in the basement and eat snacks under the pingpong table.

I used to live in Stockton. We'd have a tornado warning every once in a while. No biggie, just a few funnel clouds usually I can only remember two actually touching down from 1985-2002.
