I heard it, but I will not complain. Instead, I choose to be glad that it wasn't a real tornado. But Dispatcher, if you do it again, you'll have to serve us breakfast or something. ;-)

Believe me, that particular dispatcher and their co-workers are paying for the activation as BPD has a history of ONLY disciplining their employees rather than encouraging them.
